(Jesus continued) “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me no food. I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink: I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. Then they also will answer Him, saying ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25:41 – 46
Lord these are sad verses because they are about those that reject You. You give each person the opportunity to accept or reject You. These You are talking about have rejected You. They were given the opportunity but knew what You were saying to them was true. They knew they had rejected You and wanted to live their lives selfishly without You.
Thank You Lord for giving us that follow You eternal life.
Oh how blessed we are Lord that we will spend all eternity with You and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
