Another way of looking at Matthew 25:35 –

“I was spiritually hungry, and you gave me the Word.

“I was thirty, and you led me to the wellsprings of salvation.

“I was a stranger living outside of His mercy, and you brought me into the family of God.

“I was spiritually naked, and you discipled me. You clothed me with the righteousness of Christ and helped me put on spiritual armor.

“I was sick in sin and misled in deception, and you nurtured me and shepherded me.

“I was in a prison of bondage and oppression, and you came to me.”

Verse 40 –

“When you did it to one of these who are now My brothers and sisters, you did it unto Me and you fulfilled the purposes for which I have sent you.”

Verse 46 –

“And you who did not fulfill My purposes, I will cast you away into eternal punishment. But the righteous will have eternal life.”
