You Did it to Me

Matthew 25: 31-46

This section describes Jesus’ return and his enthronement in glory.

First, true faith is shown in the practice of love. Those who are saved through receiving and believing Jesus’ love, try to share the love with others. Love overflows from them. Salvation comes through faith, and true believers are accompanied by their actions.

Second, God observes our attitude toward the weak. Here, we see the poor, the sick, and others who have their own weaknesses. Perhaps, God is paying attention to our attitude toward those who feel such weaknesses.

Third, love to the weak is seen as the same as love to the Lord. The people in the parable practiced love without even realizing it, yet the Lord will say to them, “You did it to me.” We should read this passage, being conscious of this truth, and practice love toward others.

It is easy to focus on our own faith life, but let us remember that the Lord wants us to give His love to others!
