Matthew 25:35-36 (KJV) is part of Jesus' teaching about the Final Judgment. In this passage, Jesus describes the moment when the Son of Man (referring to Himself) comes in glory to separate the righteous from the wicked, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Verses 35-36 emphasize:
> "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."
Theological and moral significance:
Concrete love: Jesus identifies Himself with the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the outcast. When we care for them, we are serving Him directly.
Faith in action: This passage shows that genuine faith must be expressed through real actions—through love, support, and service to others.
Recognizing God in others: It’s a call to see the presence of God in the least of our brothers and sisters.
In summary:
Matthew 25:35-36 is a powerful invitation for each of us to live with love, compassion, and service toward others—for in these very acts, we are serving God Himself. It remains one of the most moving expressions of unconditional love and the justice of the Kingdom of Heaven.
