Two Hands To Touch The Glory Of God

A professor once approached Mother Teresa and asked if she had a message he could bring back to his students. She took one of his hands, and pointing to his thumb, said "You." Pointing to the rest of his fingers in turn, she said "Did - It - For - Me."

"You did it for me." The line comes from one of the most compelling stories Jesus tells, a story about how God will judge people at the end of time.

In the story, people of all nations are separated into two groups. One group has loved Jesus and cared for him. The other has not. Both groups are shocked that they have even seen Jesus, let alone cared or not cared for him. But Jesus tells them, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these friends of mine who were hungry and thirsty, sick and in prison, strangers, or needing clothing, you did for me.'"

"You did it for me." Jesus says how we treat people who need help is how we will be judged at the end of time.
