Parable of the Sheep and Goats - Reflections on Judgment
Reflecting on the biblical passage of Matthew 25:31-46, the Parable of the Sheep and Goats emphasizes the importance of helping those in need. The Judgment of the Nations reveals that our actions towards others, especially the marginalized, determine our eternal destiny, either blessedness or cursedness. The six circumstances affecting the Lord and His brethren highlight the significance of serving those who are hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, and in prison. Ultimately, our response to these individuals reflects our relationship with God and shapes our eternal fate.
