This is just too noble. I love steemit just for this. I didnt know we have gone this far. Reaching even those who are not on steemit. I have to be a part of this. Thank you for this initiative.
Matthew 25:35-40 “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? 38 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.”
I was handing out Bible tracts once on a hot summer day and this man I gave one to was a self-professing atheist but you know what he did? He asked me to come into his house and cool off then he brought me a cold bottle of water. I then told him that you actually did this for Jesus. He thought, “What? What do you mean?” Then I repeated these verses to him and he was amazed at how Jesus looks at what we do for others as doing it to Him. I think I made this man think. I hope it sunk deep into his conscience. Maybe I’ll see him in the kingdom. When you visit the sick, when you visit those in prison or write letters to them, when you give clothing to the poor, and when you give someone a drink…like this man did to me, you actually do it to Christ. This is a scripture i am always conscious of at all times.
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?’
This alone lets me know that everything i do for others, i do for christ. So that really keeps me going. Thank you @gavvet for this noble cause. I will be a part of it 100%
