Today’s Scripture: Matthew 25:40 ESV: And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' What did you do to Jesus?

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 4:4 NLT: But Jesus told him, "No! The Scriptures say, 'People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God.'
