How Christians Ought to Treat Other Christians.

Mathew 25:31 – 46 


Every single Christian one day will stand before Jesus Christ in judgment, not for our sins but for how we obeyed God’s word and exercised His Commandments. Our sins were paid for by Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. Every single drop of His blood was spilt for the sins of every saint of God who believes. Therefore, the only judgment we have left is our works, and our works are according to the commandments of the bible. Therefore, all Christians need to understand God’s Word, and obey what God says. If we do not listen and hear Gods word and His commandments for us, we will lose rewards in Judgment. Paul wrote about our judgment in 1 Corinthians 3:11 – 13 “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ…Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble…Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.” So, Christians here is our WARNING from Jesus Christ about that judgment, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 3:22) Here in our text passage, Jesus is talking about us being rewarded because of how we have treated Him, “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in…Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” Vs 35 – 36 But notice their response to Jesus, “Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?” V. 37 They said Lord, we never saw you hungry, or naked, or sick, or in prison, Lord we were never able to do these things for you, so what are you saying? Now here is Jesus response, PLEASE DO NOT MISS THIS RESPONSE, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” V. 40 What Jesus has just said is “whatever you do to another child of God, you have done it to me. Please take the time to let this sink into your heart, whatever you do for another Christian you are doing it for Jesus. When you help another Christian in need it is like you are doing it to Jesus, also whenever you hurt another Christian it is like hurting Jesus, whenever you are loving other Christians it is like loving Jesus. Never, ever, forget those words. How much will you do for Jesus, if Jesus was in need how much would you help Him, then if you see another church member, or a fellow Christian in need then help Jesus! That is not my words, that is not worldly wisdom, that is not an Arminian Preacher begging for money, that is a COMMANDMENT of Jesus Christ. It is a disgrace to see some Christians do without daily essentials while other church members and other Christians failing to help. If you saw Jesus doing without would you help Him, helping another Christian in need is helping Jesus! We will all learn in our judgment day that we were so wrong on so many things, so when we see in God’s word ways to correct wrong, take the opportunity to obey the Lord. The church, your Pastor, and every believer in Jesus Christ you should do for as you would do for Jesus Christ. If you have and do not help, you will lose in judgment, the fire will burn-up your works like wood, hay, and stubble. Folks, if Jesus Christ is important to you, then take care of Jesus’s earthly possessions, His church, His Pastors, and your fellow brethren and Sisters in need. If Christians are so mindless that they will not see a need and help, then their loss will be in judgment day. Please give this some thought and obey the Lord and your reward will be eternal. Look for a need and help, this is opportunity, do not miss opportunity.
