DAY THIRTY-SEVEN – Wednesday, April 13, 2022
Matthew 25:31-46
This passage is about separating the sheep from the goats. While using innocent animals to illustrate a point, Matthew seems to indicate that the sheep represent the King’s trusty followers while the goats (which I consider he means the rest of us) are condemned to eternal punishment.
Really, I think this unfair, as I have never had the opportunity to personally give a naked person some clothing, or visit a prisoner. I have looked after my wife when she was sick, but I am not sure that counts. However, for all my shortcomings I am convinced that God loves me and all the other goats and will never condemn us all to eternal punishment.
