Matthew 25:35
Keep in mind here again the context of this lesson. Jesus is describing actions carried out by those who will be living during the Tribulation Period. These good works, done on behalf of Jewish people in need during this time, will be meritorious toward these persons’ judgment. It is important to understand why this is. For one thing, this in no way minimizes good deeds during this present era. Christians in this time should feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and give drink to the thirsty. However, these things should be only be done as we are sharing the gospel with these people. The other thing we must see to understand this is that good works done for the Jews during this time will require a great amount of faith. So, during the Tribulation, works such as this will require great trust in Christ.

We must never underestimate the influence of Your truth in our lives. Because you have given us so much, we are able to live for you. What a miracle that is!

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
