'Because he is My disciple
Because he is My disciple
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple — I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward!" Matthew 10:42
Work done in Christ's vineyard,
gifts to missions,
charities given to the poor,
money given to good causes,
ministries among the sick and the needy
— these things please Christ only when there is love for Him in them, when they are done truly for Him, and in His name.
We need to look honestly into our hearts, when we crowd our days with Christian activity — to know the true spirit which prompts it all.
"Do you love Me?" is the Master's question as each act of service is rendered, as each job is done.
There is no other true motive.
"It is the Lord Christ you are serving!" Colossians 3:24
