  1. Robert William Dale was a Congregational pastor. Writing on doing the will of God, he reflects on principles God will judge the world (Mt 25:31ff). Jesus won’t ask about your sympathy for the hungry and miserable. Jesus will tell the righteous that they gave him meat when hungered.

    John Piper, in contrast, has an alternative view, that Jesus will ask about bible reading.

    How can you respond to Jesus’s needs beyond mere sympathy?

  2. Marcus Dods, Free Church of Scotland minister, quotes the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. Slavery violates the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Some need to be reminded that enslaved persons have the same feelings as ourselves.

    How can you look afresh at your adversaries, people you might be hurting, as if they were a person of the same passions and feelings as yourself?
