Are you a Sheep or a Goat? (Matthew 25:31-46)
The black sheep of the family, we all know what that means it’s the member of the family that just sort of wanders away or at least doesn’t conform to the rest of the family group. But what about a goat, do you know if you are a sheep or a goat, because that’s the spiritual division that God in Jesus appears to make in this passage. It seems to me that spiritually speaking there are some who will be designated goats in God’s family. Those that just seemed to wander away, or worse. If your heart is in tune with the heart of the father of Jesus the shepherd of the sheep, I should say you certainly don’t want to be a goat, so let me. ask a very simple question this morning.
How can we avoid becoming identified as a goat rather than a sheep. I guess one of the answers to that is don’t wander away from the Lord. So, will staying close to the Lord automatically make you a white sheep or do you have to do something else as well. The answer to that is in this latter part of the Olivet discourse recorded in Matthew chapter 25. So, listen with me as I begin to read from Matthew chapter 25 where I’m going to begin reading with verse 31.
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 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: 35 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; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 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.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of th
