Matthew 25.31-46 is one of the better known passages in the New Testament, talking about the final judgment of God. Probably all of us are familiar with the sheep and the goats and have heard numerous teachings about this passage. I'd like to make just a few quick observations and state a few prayer requests.
Observations:
1) Both the sheep and the goats are involved in doing good works.
2) Both the sheep and the goats are surprised at the Lord's judgment.
3) Neither the sheep nor the goats understand the implications of what they are doing or not doing.
Prayer Requests:
Pray that we will all serve our Lord wherever and whenever we can by serving our neighbor and loving him as ourselves.
Pray that we will have a desire to serve others, not for any reward or out of any fear of punishment, but because others need help and hope that comes from Christ.
Pray that we will see and take our opportunities to serve the Lord, whether at home or abroad.
