To His faithful servants today Christ says, "He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and he that receiveth Me receiveth Him that sent Me." No act of kindness shown in His name will fail to be recognized and rewarded. And in the same tender recognition Christ includes even the feeblest and lowliest of the family of God. "Whosoever shall give to drink," He says, "unto one of these little ones"--those who are as children in their faith and their knowledge of Christ--"a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." Matthew 10:40, 42. 133

Kristus siger til sine trofaste tjenere i dag: "Den, som tager imod jer, tager imod mig; og den, som tager imod mig, tager imod ham, som udsendte mig." Matt. 10,41. En venlig handling, som er gjort i hans navn, vil altid blive bemærket og belønnet, og Kristus tager selv de svageste og ydmygste medlemmer af Guds familie i betragtning. Han siger: "Den, som giver en af disse små" en af dem, der er som børn i troen og i deres kundskab om Kristus "blot et bæger koldt vand at drikke, fordi han er en discipel, sandelig siger jeg eder: han skal ingenlunde gå glip af sin løn." Matt. 10,42.
