Mateus 10
Utley - This the first of four metaphors from the animal kingdom that characterize humanity.
Mateus 10
Utley - We can share in the reward of God’s servants by supporting them in their work. Even seemingly insignificant works of kindness (a cup of cold water) performed for God’s people are meaningful in God’s eyes.. What could seem more insignificant than giving a person a cup of cold water? In a short time, they will be thirsty again. Yet even such a small gesture will always be remembered and rewarded by God. They shall by no means lose their reward. “Again it is not philanthropy which is in view, but reception of a disciple because he is a disciple (again literally ‘in the name of’).” (France - The Gospel According to Matthew) The promise is that those who are His disciples really do represent Him, with both the cost and the reward. John
