We were just reading Matthew 7 where it talks about some people coming to Jesus at judgment and saying 'Didn't we prophesy and drive out demons and perform miracles in your name?' I find it interesting that no one is being turned away saying 'Didn't we feed the hungry and take care of the orphan and widow in your name?' Maybe not a profound thought, but it is interesting. What may be an interesting implication is that sacrificial giving and compassion in Jesus' name is a more sure indication of someone being sent from God than an amazing miracle in Jesus' name.
