Opportunities In Disguise

[Matthew 25:34-40]

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, "Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

1. for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat;
2. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink;
3. I was a stranger, and you took me in;
4. naked, and you clothed me;
5. I was sick, and you visited me;
6. 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 a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?"

The King will answer them, "Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
