…In A Dangerous World!”
KEY VERSE: v. 40 “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of mine, even the least of them, you did it to me.’”
FOCUS: The highest accomplishment in Christian service is our care for Jesus.
INTRODUCTION: “Christ is the Judge, and He sees unerringly the main set of the soul. No man can face in two directions: Jesus knows our dominant motive. The hungry, the thirsty, the homeless, the naked, the physically afflicted and the prisoner are here made the test. What we have done for them or failed to do, is judgment on us for weal or woe. Notice well that list. Such people require of us sympathy, both in imagination and in the deed.” ~ George A. Buttrick
