Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, WHEN did we see thee hungry and feed THEE, or thirsty and give THEE drink? And WHEN did we see THEE sick or in prison and visit THEE?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me.'
--------------------
Could it be remotely possible that those who are asking 'WHEN did we do good for THEE?', just might not be born again Christians? Afterall, they almost seem incredulous that they're allowed in.
"Then they also will answer, 'Lord, WHEN did we see THEE hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to THEE?' Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, AS YOU DID NOT TO ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU DID IT NOT TO ME.'And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
----------------------------
Is it remotely possible that those asking, 'WHEN did we fail to minister to THEE?', could be self professed Christians?
Remember the Pharisees who also knew the word so very well.
