For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Note 25 at Mt. 25:35: Besides the obvious teaching of this passage on the rewards to the faithful (see note 6 at Mt. 10:42, p. 169; see note 1 at Lk. 19:12, p. 347; see note 2 at Mk. 12:43, p. 392), it also shows us just how deeply the Lord feels our hurts. When a kind act was done to someone in need, He said it was done unto Him. When someone was neglected, He said He was the one being neglected. We have a high priest who is touched with the feelings of our infirmities (Heb. 4:15). When we hurt, He hurts. When we are blessed, He is blessed. The God of all the universe is intricately involved with every detail of our lives.
