He continually stands

He continually stands before us in some disguise

"Please give Me a drink." John 4:7

"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

Jesus began His ministry of blessing to a woman by asking a simple favor of her. "Please give Me a drink," He said. In like manner, He continually stands before us in some disguise , asking some service.

He Himself has told us that in the least of His little ones who appeal to us for bread in their hunger, or relief in their distress — He Himself comes; and that what we do for these — we do for Him.

So we never know when it is Christ who stands before us, in some suppliant or needy believer with a timid request for help.

We should be careful how we treat the lowliest, lest some day we deny a cup of water to the blessed, glorious Christ!
