the poor of the Lord’s flock
Mar 17th, 2008 by Nathanael
“…If we truly love Christ, we shall care for those who are loved by Him. Those who are dear to Him will be dear to us. Let us then look upon it not as a duty but as a privilege to relieve the poor of the Lord’s flock—remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, ‘Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.’ Surely this assurance is sweet enough, and this motive strong enough to lead us to help others with a willing hand and a loving heart—recollecting that all we do for His people is graciously accepted by Christ as done to Himself.”
(Charles H. Spurgeon, Morning & Evening, March 17)
