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 foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me,
36 naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him and say, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?
40 And the king will say to them in reply, Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.

of our reasoning for working for the common social good.
Thank you for sharing Matthew 25.
These words reflect my reason for remaining a Democrat all my years.
