For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is—limited and suffering and subject to sorrows and death, he had the honesty and courage to take his own medicine…he himself has gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money, to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair and death…whatever game we might think he is playing with [us], he has kept his own rules and played fair.

Matthew 25:34-35, 37 & 40, NIV …Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For…I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink…Then the righteous ones will reply, "When did we ever see you…thirsty and give you a drink?"...And the King will say, "I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" John 7:37-38, NIV On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them."
