The Soldier and the Coat: A Dream of Christ

A Russian soldier one very cold piercing night was kept on duty all night. A poor working man, moved with pity, took off his coat and lent it to the soldier to keep him warm, adding that he should soon reach home, while the poor soldier would have to remain out all night. The cold was so intense that the soldier was found dead in the morning. Some time afterward the poor man was laid on his death bed, and in a dream saw Jesus. “You have got my coat on,” said the man. “Yes, it is the coat you lent me that cold night when I was on duty and you passed by. ‘I was naked and ye clothed me.’”
