Today’s question is: Who is it that offers you a cup of cold water?
This week’s text for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Matthew 10:40-42 (NRSV)
Jesus said to the twelve: 40“Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; 42and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple—truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.”
