If You Love Someone ()



If You Love Someone ()
Author: Mark V. Markov

If you love someone
When there is a need
You help that person
If you never wanna help
When you are able
Than you don't love

And if you don't love
A brother or sister in Christ
Than you don't love Jesus Christ Himself.
For He said,
You gave me water to drink
When I was thirsty.
Saying that with action
The people cared and loved.

They asked
When did we do that?
He replied
When you did it to the least of my brothers
You did it as unto me.

If people don't love each other
A brother or sister in Christ
If there is a need
When they are able
Than they don't love Jesus Christ Himself.
For He said,
You gave me food to eat
When I was hungry
Saying that with action
He was cared for
And with action He was loved.

They asked
When did we do that?
He replied,
When you did it
To the least of my brothers
You did it as unto me...

Matthew 25:34-35  (ESV)

34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
  

Matthew 25:37 (ESV)
 
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
  
 
Matthew 25:40 (ESV)

40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
