Sheep and Goats
In this powerful exploration of Matthew 25:31-46, we delve into the parable of the sheep and the goats, uncovering its true meaning often misinterpreted by the world. This isn't a call for general social justice, but a profound challenge to believers. Jesus identifies deeply with His followers, declaring that how we treat 'the least of these my brothers' is how we treat Him. We're reminded that following Christ means facing persecution and hardship, yet we're called to stand firm in our faith and support fellow believers. This parable urges us to examine our hearts: Are we willing to risk comfort, reputation, and safety to stand with Christ and His people? It's a sobering reminder that our actions towards other Christians have eternal significance, reflecting our genuine relationship with Jesus Himself.
