    The document discusses Jesus' prophecy about the separation of sheep and goats at the final judgment. It notes that Jesus, Paul, and others spoke of His return and judgment. At that time, the righteous ("sheep") who served others by providing food, drink, shelter, clothing, medical care, and visiting the imprisoned will be blessed and inherit the kingdom of God. The unrighteous ("goats") who neglected to serve others will be cursed and separated from God.

    The Separation

    (Ezek. 34:17, Matt. 13:49-50, 25:31-45)

    Not a mere parable, but a prophecy!

    When?

    Jesus spoke of His Return and Judgment (Matt. 12:36-37, 41-42, 16:27, John 12:47-48)

    As did Paul (Acts 17:30-31, 24:25, Rom. 2:3-6 & 16, 14:10, 2 Cor. 5:10, 2 Tim 4:1)

    As did others as well (Heb. 9:27, 10:30, 1 Pe. 4:5, 2 Pe. 2:9, 3:7, 1 John 4:17, Jude 6)

    Until the return/judgment, the bad will co-exist with the good, as the sheep with the goats.

    Who are Christ’s Brothers? (Matt. 12:48-49, Mark 3:33-35, Rom. 8:28-29, Heb. 2:11)

    The Sheep

    What does it mean to be “Blessed of My Father”? (Matt. 25:34)

    Receiving, accepting, understanding, sharing God’s grace (Matt.10:8).

    God blesses us in order that we may be a blessing to others.

    Serve/Demonstrate Care/Sharing God’s Grace (Prov. 19:17, Isa. 58.7, Ezek. 18:1, 7 & 9, Matt. 10:40,
    Acts 9:4-5, Gal. 6:10, Heb. 6:10, 1 John 4:20-21)

    Gave:

    Food (James 2:14-17, 1 Cor. 13:3, to feed alone is not enough)

    God is the one feeding the hungry (Ps. 146:7)

    Sometimes through us!

    Drink (Mark 9:41)

    Shelter/Hospitality (Rom. 12:13, Heb. 13:2, 1 Pe. 4:9, 3 John 5-8)

    Clothing/Cover (James 2:14-17)

    Medical Care (like the “Good Samaritan”)

    We should also pray for/with the sick (James 5:14-15)

    Visited in Prison (Heb. 13:3, 2 Tim. 1:16)

    Evangelist Luis Palau put it, “The church is like manure. Pile it together and it stinks up the
    neighborhood; spread it out and it enriches the world.”
    “Greatness in the kingdom of heaven is measured by small acts of kindness.”

    Reward - Benediction

    Described as "the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (2 Tim. 4:18; 2
    Pe. 1:11)

    An Inheritance

    One does not earn an inheritance.

    Inheritance is generally the result of a recognized relationship.

    God has made us sons and daughters and joint heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17)

    The Right Hand = the place of honor

    The Goats

    What does it mean to be accursed by God? (1 Cor. 16:22)

    Demonstrate Neglect/Disregard (1 John 3:17)

    Consequence – Malediction (Prov. 21:13)

    Separation from God (Matt. 25:41)
