I was hungry...

Matthew 25:35-36 (NIV)
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

I received the following and believe that it is something we ought to read and think about...

One morning before bible study, we noticed a woman waiting outside the church where we met. One of them, Perry, greeted her and asked how she was doing. She said she was waiting for the church to open to see if it had any clothing to give away since she needed a jacket.
When the custodian opened the door, they went in to check the clothing box, but nothing seemed to work. Another brother, Tom, went to his car to retrieve a windbreaker and gave it to her. A third brother, John, gave her some money.
Three bible study partners and three gifts: one with a greeting and caring inquiry, another with a jacket and a third with money.


This little story, indeed, shows in a practical way how people can live out what Jesus spoke.


This short message ended with a question: What are some little ways that you can reach out and be Christ to those around you?

I would guess that nothing more need be said.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
