“The one who welcomes you welcomes me, and the one who welcomes me welcomes him who sent me… whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
Matthew 10:40-42
Whatever you do for fellow believers, you are doing it to Jesus himself. When you serve the church, you are serving Christ. Care for His bride, His body, the Church. Jesus makes this point more than once: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40). It’s not about the act itself, big or small, but about to whom it’s directed. One can do all kinds of “good works” and work every day in “the community” to make things better, helping the homeless, serving at a soup kitchen, providing clothing or other services for the poor, but if you never serve the Church, they’re not doing it unto Christ. As important as those things are, serving the Church is especially important. “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10). Do good for all, while not neglecting the Church.
