Matthew 25:31-40

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ (ESV)

Even now, as we live in this world, we are the blessed among people. We have a relationship with the Most High God and we do His works by meeting the needs of people. I believe that is what Jesus meant when He said that we gave Him something to eat and drink, invited Him in, gave Him clothes, cared for Him when He was sick, and visited Him in prison. Through Christ Jesus, and the close relationship we have with Him, we are able to minister to the people around us. In essence, we become His hands, feet, mouth, and heart, led by the Holy Spirit within us, to take care of those around us. It is an honor and privilege to be used of God for his glory in this world!
