Neglected Opportunities

 

In our Lord’s description of the judgment, those on the left hand are condemned not for evil things which they have done, but for their neglect of love’s duties. “I was a hungered, and ye gave Me no meat. I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.” They had not oppressed the poor, they had not robbed men, and they had not gone about wounding others. Nothing whatever is said of their sins, saying that they had not done the deeds of love to those who needed such ministries. They had left undone things which they ought to have done.
