Matthew 25:31-46 was a passage of scripture I read this morning and boy did it hit hard. The final judgment. One day we all will be gathered…ALL NATIONS, before the throne of God. Think about it, I mean really THINK ABOUT IT.
Verses 32-40 say, "He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brother, you did it to me.’"
The next six verses mentions those on His left and talks about how they never helped anyone of the least. This is the group I choose not to be a part of.
As you go through your week take a moment and ask yourself the question, Who Am I Willing to Hold Jesus From? Every one of us has different circumstances and the Lord knows our hearts, but I pray that we as believers are not holding Jesus back from anyone.
