I read the below scripture, when you are done I have a question to present.
Matthew 25:34-40
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come, you who are
blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.
35 "For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and
you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in
prison, and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him,"Lord, when did we see You hungry,
and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
38 "And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and
clothe You?
39 "When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "The King will answer and say to them, "Truly I say to you, to the
extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of
them, you did it to Me.
OK here is an outline of my thoughts...
1. I'm hungry. You fed me. You fixed the situation makes sense.
2. I'm thirsty. You gave me drink. Again fixed it sensibly.
3. I'm a stranger. You invited me in. Again fixed the situation.
4. I'm naked. You clothed me, yep makes sense.
5. I was sick. You visited me. Visited me? Visited!! Just visited? Why not
heal?
6. I was imprisoned. You came to me . Came to me? Why not free me?
All the prior instances were directly fixed with the curative. I wonder why
the tone changed with sickness and imprisonment? Curious minds want to know.
