† In Matthew 25:35 it says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink . . . I needed clothes and you clothed me . . .” A faithful servant said, “Lord, when did I see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? . . . When did you need clothes and I clothe you? . . . “God said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
