The Master Delays…..

Watch, then, for you do not know in what hour your Master omes.  

 But know this, that if the housemaster had known in what watch the thief comes, 

he would have watched and not have allowed his house to be dug through.  

 Because of this, you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes.

For when nations not having Law do by nature the things of the Law, they not having Law are a law to themselves, who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing with them…
(Rom 2:14-15a)

To the least of my brothers…..

For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink;

I was a stranger, and you took Me in; naked, and you clothed Me;

I was sick, and you visited Me;

I was in prison, and you came to Me.

(Mat 25:35-36)
