James Russel Miller, Presbyterian leader in PA and IL, reflects on Matthew 25:31-46. A claim to love Christ must be shown by love to his friends. Jesus presents himself to us in needy people: “I was hungered, and you gave me meat.”
Miller refers to both Christ’s “friends” and to “every needy person”. One could write a treatise on this. Some might want to limit target of aid, but Miller makes a blur.
How can you show your affection for Christ?
