NO TIME FOR THE BEGGAR Matthew 25: 31-46 Another day awakes him with the sun in his eyes.   He brushes off the leaves and dew that fell that night.   Many people see him; many people pass him by.   They really want to help him but they just don’t have the time. No time for the beggar.  No time for Jesus.   No time for the beggar.  No time for heaven. Everyday searching for the answer, always the emptiness in his soul.   With everyone he meets, he takes chances.   The way that people are, it’s no wonder he’s not whole. When you’ve not done it to the least of His brethren, you’ve not done it unto Him.   How can you judge a man when you’re just a man yourself?   He could have been an angel. Everyday you see him; he looks like you and me.   Take a look around you.  You know, it isn’t hard to see that we are all like beggars from the greatest to least, and when we love the beggar, we’re loving our Lord Jesus.

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.  All
the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd
separates the sheep from the goats.  He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the
kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.  For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.  I
was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.  I was a stranger and you invited me in.  I needed clothes and you
clothed me.  I was sick and you looked after me.  I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you
something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When
did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?

The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whenever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for
me.’

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil
and his angels.  For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat.  I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink.  
I was a stranger and you did not invite me in.  I needed clothes and you did not clothe me.  I was sick and in prison
and you did not look after me.’

They also will answer, ’Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in
prison, and did not help you?’

He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.  Matthew 25: 31-46
