When Did We See You? - Matthew 25:44-46

Matthew 25:44-46 ESV 
Then they also will answer, 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, ‘ Truly, I say to you, 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 eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

When did we see you? The righteous and the unrighteousness alike did not see The Lord and ask a valid question. 

Jesus answers confirming the royal law of loving God and loving our fellow man. We demonstrate our love of God through our love for others. Our world serves to teach of God and provide a place to practice what we have learned. We see God when we see each other. 

We are here to find love and be that love, for God is love. 

It doesn't matter what we say or do if it is not done in love. Love comes from the heart. The only thing that counts is faith working through love. 

Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love.
