I DO NOT KNOW YOU

Jesus told three different stories, but the same message. One is the story of the good Samaritan found in Luke 10. The other is found in Matthew 7:21, where Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” The third one is that lesson in Matthew 25, where He talks about the consequences of those times when we either extend kindness to “the least of these” or not.

Pumikit ka at ipagdasal mo ang iyong pangarap, at pagpapalain ka ng Diyos.” (Look, there’s a rainbow. Close your eyes, and pray for your intentions and God will bless you.) Then her face brightened up believing that God was looking out for her.
