INHERIT THE KINGDOM
Matthew 25: 31-46
"...Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.” Matthew 25:34
A poor boy who was hungry, decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve and asked for water when a lovely young woman opened the door. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a glass of milk.
He drank it and then asked, "How much do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything," she replied. He said, "Then I thank you from my heart." Many years later that young woman became critically ill. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation and he recognized her at once.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. He requested for her bill, wrote something on it and sent it to her room. She feared to open it, but finally when she did, she read these words: "Paid in full with one glass of milk." Today's passage is calling our attention to the effect little acts of kindness can have.
Things we do for people unconsciously will either justify us to inherit God's kingdom or condemn us. Jesus emphasised that helping people around us is the same as helping Him. Therefore, we need to see beyond ourselves so that we can be of help to others around us. By this, we are helping Christ and we can be certain of His reward.
