"
If there be any repentance among the godly at that day, it will be
because the Lord Jesus, in his person, members, and word, was no
more owned, honored, entertained, and provided for by them, when
they were in this world; for it will be ravishing to all to see what
notice the Lord Jesus will then take of every widow's mite. He will
call to mind even all those acts of mercy and kindness which thou
hast showed to him when thou wast among men. He will remember, cry
up, and proclaim before angels and saints those very acts of thine
which thou hast either forgotten or through bashfulness wilt not at
that day count worth the owning. He will reckon them up so fast and
so fully that thou wilt cry, "Lord, when did I do this, and when did
I do the other? When saw we thee hungry and fed thee. or athirst and
gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in, or
naked and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick or in a prison, and
came unto thee?" And the King shall answer and say unto them,
"Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye did it unto me. The good works of some are
manifest beforehand, and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
Whatever thou hast done to one of the least of these my brethren,
thou hast done it unto me.
