And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of 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 took Me in; 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? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ Matthew 25:33-40
When I first heard this passage preached at church I began to sweat and shiver at the same time visualizing the day when the Lord separates goat from sheep. It was overwhelming thinking about the day. Since then, I worked hard and dedicated my life in being there for others. I gave not just my time to visit the sick and money to provide for the poor but I gave my whole life to save lost souls.
When this journey begins in a person's life, things start happening. A warfare against every force that is against doing good for Christ arises. And the same old law applies to this battle, "It's the survival of the fittest".
Inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven is not easy and the results are richer than our minds can imagine.
In whatever you do, do not be a goat - selfish, careless, proud and only take care of your own ego. Do everything in your power to take care of others and win them for Christ.
In today's world, people don't care about the sick, the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked or even the lonely. Instead, these people are being judged, ridiculed, isolated, humiliated , laughed at and even gossiped. Be different and do the opposite bearing in mind that doing it for them will be as though you were doing it for Christ Himself and that your reward is in heaven.
Do better and stay blessed!
