Guest Evgen Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Q: Preacher, in Matthew 10:42, Jesus promised a Reward for just a cup of water given to His Disciple. Isn’t it a bit easy way to be rewarded? A: No, it isn’t. Have a closer look at the Scripture. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones 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 10:42) Surely we can give a drink to a stranger in the heat of a day, why not? But what about our giving against all reason, no matter what, Giving to a Disciple? Let’s make up some scenario. Persecutions are on the go. One day on some open ground persecutors set up a stage of execution for a Christian. The last question unto the condemned one is, will you deny your Faith and live or confirm it and die? The answer is like many written in the Book of Martyrs: to die for GOD rather than to live for the devil. Thus, True Discipleship has been proven. And the verdict is death. The last wish was inquired, and a cup of water was asked for. There is a crowd around there – people of very different views. The water is available too. The commanding officer asked, will anybody please bring some water over here, but on one condition: get the same death penalty. You are there in that crowd. What would you do?
