"Ye Did It Not."

In the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew is given a vivid description of the day of Judgment. This description is from the lips of Jesus himself. Of all the utterances recorded in this chapter, none are more solemn than the answer given to those on the left hand of the Judge. In astonishment they cry out, "Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?" Then comes the crushing reply, "Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, my brethren, ye did it not to me." There is a mighty and eternal truth in these words. Men are lost because of what they do not do. Religion calls for action. The sinner must respond to the Spirit's striving, and the believer must be earnest and active in the divine life."
