Serving Everyone as if Serving Christ

Abraham and wife prepare with their own hands--serving with joy and anticipation though they had servants to do so.

And if you give to the poor, do not disdain to give them yourself. For it is not [ultimately] to the poor that it is given, but to Christ Himself. And who is so wretched - [selfish] to stretch out his hand to Christ?

St. John Chrysostom XIV on 1 Timothy
