Matthew
5:38-48 KJV
38
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth
for a tooth:
39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall
smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40
And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let
him have thy cloak also.
41
And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42
Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee
turn not thou away.
43
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor,
and hate thine enemy.
44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you;
45
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He
maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain
on the just and on the unjust.
46
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even
the publicans the same?
47
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do
not even the publicans so?
48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect.
Matthew 8:14,15 KJV (Serving others out of love)
14
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother
laid, and sick of a fever.
15
And He touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and
ministered unto them.
Matthew 25:31-46 KJV (Judgment Day)
31
When The Son Of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels
with Him, then shall He sit upon The Throne Of His Glory:
32
And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate
them one from another, as A Shepherd divideth His sheep from the
goats:
33
And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the
left.
34
Then shall The King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed
of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world:
35
For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in:
36
Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in
prison, and ye came unto Me.
37
Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed
thee?
39
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40
And The King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My
brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye
cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42
For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye
gave Me no drink:
43
I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me
not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.
44
Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an
hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison,
and did not minister unto thee?
45
Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.
46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
righteous into life eternal.
John 13:3-5 KJV (Our Lord's example)
3
Jesus knowing that The Father had given all things into His hands,
and that He was come from God, and went to God;
4
He riseth from supper, and laid aside His garments; and took a towel,
and girded Himself.
5
After that He poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the
disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was
girded.
I Corinthians 10:33 NLT (Apostle Paul)
I,
too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do
what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be
saved.
Philippians 2:5-8 KJV (Humility in service)
5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God:
7
But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of A
Servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8
And being found in fashion as A Man, He humbled Himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Must
Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for everyone,
And there’s a cross for me.
How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorr’wing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
The consecrated cross I’ll bear
Till death shall set me free;
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there’s a crown for me.
Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus’ pierced feet,
Joyful I’ll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat.
O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ The Lord from heav’n comes down
And bears my soul away.
Thomas

as The Son Of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
