We are too apt to neglect opportunities of helping others and of relieving distress, never thinking that we are sinning against Christ, that we are indeed leaving him unhelped and unrelieved when we might have given him sweet comfort. We forget that neglects are sins. “Ye did it not” is the charge, in our Lord’s picture of the Judgment, against those who are bidden to depart. The things we have failed to do will be the things that shall turn the scales on that great trial-day. We must meet our neglects as well as our positive sins.
