Matthew 25:37-40, "Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

The Lord Jesus was telling what will come in the Judgment Day. He will say to those on His right hand, "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in," MAT 25:35.

However, the righteous did not recognize their good works; they saw such an unworthiness that they said, "...Lord, when saw we thee ...?"

The Lord was pleased because He saw that self-sacrificial Spirit of Christ, that spirit of meekness and lowliness toward a fellow man. He saw the giving of the cup of cold water which, in most instances, is done in a spiritual sense. When one of our brethren is down spiritually, out in that spiritually dry and thirsty land, we come with the spiritual cup of water, i.e., a word spoken in season for a thirsty soul. Then there is communion between the brethren. Then the Lord Jesus Christ says, "...Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

The Son of God shall come in the glory of Him who "seeth in secret," bringing His reward with Him. He will come in the glory of such a God. In MAT 16:27 we read, "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."

Hannah saw God's all-seeing eye as she said in her prayer of gratitude in 1SA 2:3, "Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."
