Matt 25-26

So, we are at the sheep and goat sorting passage now. At the end times he will return and judge, separating those who blend into the flock, just going with it, with the actual flock who follows the shepherd's voice (John 10).

After separating them the king explains his reasoning, his criteria by which the sheep are different from the goats.

v. 35-36 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

This was said of the sheep, while the opposite was said of the goats.

All of them asked 'when were you in these situations?' to which he basically said 'whenever you did these things for the least, you did them for me.'

Putting others before ourselves (Phil2:3-4)
Loving our neighbours sacrificially (Luke 6:27-31, 10:25-37)
Giving without expecting to be paid back (Luke 6:35)

How much time do we spend helping those in need instead of thinking of ourselves? Praying for those in need? Going to those in need with assistance, compassion, and aid?

Jesus came all the way from heaven to earth, from earth to the cross, from the cross to the grave, and from the grave to the sky for us. Can't we go a little out of our way, even to the people living right beside us?
