How have you treated Jesus this week? Have you reverenced Him? Have you even spoken to Him? Have you been so busy that you have refused to spend any time with Him? How have you treated Jesus this week?
I don’t suppose you have been so foolish as to think that you could think or say negative or even nasty things concerning Him without Him knowing, have you? Are you ever disappointed in Jesus? Have you ever felt that He has let you down? Have you been angry with Him? Have you dare spoken that or have you silently held your anger inside until it boiled and solidified into resentment or even hatred?
Have you told Him that you love Him? Would you tell Him if you didn’t? Have you invited Him to come with you wherever you go or are there times and places where you’d rather Him not go with you? Are there friends He might embarrass you around?
Again, allow me to ask you; how have YOU treated Jesus this week? Before you answer, allow me to ask you another question; how have you treated your Preacher, your teacher, your parent, your boss at work or that bully at school? How have you treated that person you despise the most? How have you treated the one who has used you, abused you, abandoned you, stole from you, cheated on you?
Friend, your answer to the second set of questions answer the initial set; how you have treated the people in your life you consider the least; your egotistical preacher, unfair teacher, your lousy parent, your overbearing boss at work, the bully who frightens you; your worst enemy, the person you despise the most, the way you have treated them is how you have treated Jesus; who died for your sins. The way you have you treated the one who has used you, abused you, abandoned you, stole from you, or cheated on you is the way you have treated Jesus who would never do any of those things to you, for Christ has said, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. MATTHEW 25:40
