The Parables #110

The sheep and the goats, Pt7. 

Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46

We are considering the Saviour’s explanation for rewarding His sheep.

“For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me,” verses 35-36.

Note, everything the Christian does is for Christ. “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat, etc.”

Paul said: “For to me to live is Christ,” Php 1:21. This what ALL Christians should say! Our sole aim in living should be to glorify Christ. He is the supreme End and Purpose of our life.

It indicates a watchfulness regarding the affairs of Christ. Love and concern for the people of God marks the life of the true believer.

Truth for Today, Pt14

Scripture: Ruth 2:1-3.

We are here introduced to one of the principal characters of the book of Ruth — Boaz.

It is through him that Ruth enters upon a prosperous and secure life and becomes one of the progenitors of the Lord Jesus.

I. AT THE BEGINNING OF HER NEW LIFE IN JUDAH, A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH BOAZ BEGINS

So it is with every true believer.

1. It is in his fields that Ruth finds sustenance.

2. It is under his eye that she finds protection. 2:8-9.

3. It is through intimate union with him that she finds everlasting honour. Had not Ruth married Boaz, we would even know her name today. It is union with Christ that will bring us to honour. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light,” 1 Peter 2:9. Deut 26:19; 1 Sam 2:7-9.

THE SAVIOUR EXPLAINS WHY HE IS REWARDING HIS SHEEP.

“For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me,” verses 35-36.

These words do not set down WHY they gained heaven, but rather is descriptive of their characters and how they lived, and are testimonies and evidences of the grace of God in them. Here is proof that they were the blessed of His Father, having His special grace bestowed upon them and that they were the children of God.

We do not get to heaven by our works! This is the devil’s lie and is the foundation of all false religions. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast,” Ephesians 2:8-9.
