Matthew
25:34-40
“Then the King will say to
those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your
inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the
world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a
stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes
and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison
and you came to visit me.’ (JUNE)
37 “Then
the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When
did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?39 When
did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ (JULY)
40 “The
King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ (August)
TIPS
· Instead
of trying to memorize it all at once, I’d suggest breaking it into 3 parts (June,
July, August). Then, take each part and
beak it into smaller pieces. Learn one
phrase every few days and REVIEW often.
· Notice
the list and pair the needs (hungry/thirsty, stranger/clothes, sick/in prison).
· Look
for the pattern within the passage.
Once the first paragraph is learned, the second will be fairly easy
because of the similar structure.
· Practice
every day! Keep your card handy.
· Work
these tasks into your daily prayer time.
You can pray something like this:
Lord,
help me to see others the way that You see them. When I learn of someone who is hungry or
thirsty, show me how I can help them.
When I meet those who are less-fortunate than me, show me how to help
them. Remind me to visit and pray for
those who are sick or in prison. Give me
a tender heart toward these people who You love so much. Amen
