“The Son of Man... will sit upon his royal throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him.”
The righteous will say, "When did
you give me a drink? The King will
say, "Whenever you did it for one of these least important you did it for me!" Matthew. 25: 35-40
There's a brutal scene in Victor Hugo's Notre Dame of Paris. The hunchback, Quasimodo, is chained to a wheel and being scourged before a huge mob. As blood flows from his wounds, he calls out for water. The mob responds by jeering him and pelting him with stones.
Suddenly, a little girl with a gourd of water pushes through the crowd and presses it to his lips. The girl's loving action makes him do what his torturers could not do. A tear rolls down his cheek.
What are my thoughts, as I envison myself present at this scene?
To ease another's heartbreak is to forget one's own. Malcolm Muggeridge
