UCB Word For Today 11th July 2022 MESSAGE
We tend to focus on sins of commission – the wrong we do. But what about sins of omission – the good we fail to do? In Christ’s parables, when someone was condemned, it was often over a sin of omission. A man was put out of a wedding because he had no wedding garment (see Matthew 22:12).

Five virgins were excluded from the wedding party because they’d no oil in their lamps (see Matthew 25:3-11). A servant who buried his talent in the ground instead of using it, forfeited it (see Matthew 25:25-28). A rich man who failed to care for his neighbour was condemned for it (see Luke 16:19-24). A barren fig tree that failed to produce fruit was cursed and died (see Mark 11:20-24).
You say, ‘But I’m interested in a deeper spiritual life.’ Well, the deepest spiritual life is one spent doing good to others! And it’s the basis on which you’ll be judged and rewarded. ‘Then the King will…say… “I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home.
