The Disabilities of Selfishness
Matthew 25:34-44
Then shall the King say to them on his right hand, Come, you blessed of my Father…


1. Selfishness is incompatible with the fundamental principles and purposes of human society.

2. Selfishness is inimical to the proper development and perfection of thy own individual life.

3. Selfishness is a direct contradiction of the entire mission and character of Christ.

4. What emphasis He gives to the least of My brethren, as if He would sternly exclude mixture of motive.

5. The unconsciousness of the selfish man is striking.

(1)  It blinds the soul.

(2)  It makes sympathy unintelligible.

(3)  What grand opportunities for the service of love and reward it loses. We are all familiar with the excuses of selfishness.

(H. Allon.)
