Summary

Matthew 25:31-32 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. Are you ready for that day? The day when Jesus looks at each one of us and separates us one from another? The day he chooses those that are his. This is the only judgment that matters. And how does Jesus weigh a human life? vv35-36 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.’ v 40 ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ I reject the modern scholarly opinion that the “least of these my brothers” means only Christian missionaries or disciples. This is not the church’s classic interpretation. Jesus is calling us to love ALL human beings. To love any human being who has a need. Augustine said Because the Son of God has become human he has identified himself with every human being. So in serving ANY human being we serve Jesus. Jesus is not saying that anyone who cares for the poor goes to heaven. No. Not at all. He is saying that those who have Faith in Jesus, will show that faith by loving human beings in their desperate need. They will love human beings for Jesus’ sake. Their act of love will be an act of FAITH in Jesus. How you respond to one human being in desperate need reveals your FAITH in Jesus Christ. Show you faith TODAY. The actions are simple: feed, give, clothe, shelter, nurse, visit.
