Matthew 25:35

Verses 35,36. I was an hungred. The union between Christ and his people is the most tender and endearing of all connexions. It is represented by the closest unions of which we have knowledge, Joh 15:4-6; Eph 5:23-32; 1 Co 6:15. This is a union not physical, but moral; a union of feelings, interests, plans, destiny; or, in other words, he and his people have similar feelings, love the same objects, share the same trials, and inherit the same blessedness, Joh 14:19; Re 3:5,21; Ro 8:17. Hence he considers favours shown to his people as shown to himself, and will reward them accordingly, Mt 10:40,42. They show attachment to him, and love to his cause.
