SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:43
fui husped, y no me recogisteis; desnudo, y no me cubristeis; enfermo, y en la crcel, y no me visitasteis.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:43
Verse 43. I was a stranger] If men were sure that Jesus Christ was actually somewhere in the land, in great personal distress, hungry, thirsty, naked, and confined, they would doubtless run unto and relieve him. Now Christ assures us that a man who is hungry, thirsty, naked, &c., is his representative, and that whatever we do to such a one he will consider as done to himself; yet this testimony of Christ is not regarded! Well, he will be just when he judges, and righteous when he punishes.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in , etc.] Did not take the poor members of Christ into their houses, and take care of them in their families, when they were obliged to flee from their places of abode, or wandered about preaching the Gospel; and who must have perished in the streets, if others, that bore the Christian name; had not been more compassionate than they: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick and in prison, and ye visited me not : their conduct, behaviour, and character, are just the reverse of the righteous, and therefore it is no wonder that their sentence is different.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-46 - This is a description of the last judgment. It is as an explanation of the former parables. There is a judgment to come, in which every ma shall be sentenced to a state of everlasting happiness, or misery Christ shall come, not only in the glory of his Father, but in his ow glory, as Mediator. The wicked and godly here dwell together, in the same cities, churches, families, and are not always to be known the on from the other; such are the weaknesses of saints, such the hypocrisie of sinners; and death takes both: but in that day they will be parte for ever. Jesus Christ is the great Shepherd; he will shortl distinguish between those that are his, and those that are not. All other distinctions will be done away; but the great one between saint and sinners, holy and unholy, will remain for ever. The happiness the saints shall possess is very great. It is a kingdom; the most valuabl possession on earth; yet this is but a faint resemblance of the blesse state of the saints in heaven. It is a kingdom prepared. The Fathe provided it for them in the greatness of his wisdom and power; the So purchased it for them; and the blessed Spirit, in preparing them for the kingdom, is preparing it for them. It is prepared for them: it is in all points adapted to the new nature of a sanctified soul. It is prepared from the foundation of the world. This happiness was for the saints, and they for it, from all eternity. They shall come and inheri it. What we inherit is not got by ourselves. It is God that makes heir of heaven. We are not to suppose that acts of bounty will entitle to eternal happiness. Good works done for God's sake, through Jesu Christ, are here noticed as marking the character of believers mad holy by the Spirit of Christ, and as the effects of grace bestowed of those who do them. The wicked in this world were often called to com to Christ for life and rest, but they turned from his calls; and justl are those bid to depart from Christ, that would not come to him Condemned sinners will in vain offer excuses. The punishment of the wicked will be an everlasting punishment; their state cannot be altered. Thus life and death, good and evil, the blessing and the curse, are set before us, that we may choose our way, and as our way s shall our end be __________________________________________________________________
