Ebook The Mind of Jesus

The poor are the representatives of Jesus, their wants He considers as His own, and He will recompense accordingly. The feeblest expression of Christian pity and love, though it be but the widow's mite, or the cup of cold water, or the kindly look and word when there is neither mite nor cup to give, yet, if done in His name, it is entered in the book of life as a loan to the Lord; and in that day when the books are opened, the loan will be paid back with usury.
