From Matthew 25

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 creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’

37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’

Colossians 3:23 says to work as if we’re serving God and not people. Because we are. When we do anything for the least of these, we’re really doing it for Jesus. And anytime we pass up a nudge to help the least of these, we’re passing Jesus by, as if we didn’t even know Him.

So the next time you help someone out, especially if you don’t particularly want to, ask Jesus to help you see how you’re ultimately serving Him.
