Matthew 25:35-36
Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat, etc. The reason why those on the right hand are given the kingdom is now shown. They had ministered unto the Savior. The deeds of loving kindness that the truly benevolent do his needy disciples are named as having been done to Christ. It should be noted (1) that the duties named are such duties as every one can perform. Chrysostom says: "He said not I was sick and ye healed me; or in prison and ye set me free; but "ye visited me and came unto me".' (2) A real, personal service of Christ is implied, one involving some sacrifice of ease, time and property.
