Judgment Day
By peace | July 4, 2008
Jesus often used the title “Son of Man” for himself. The Book of Daniel in the Scriptures described the Son of Man as the one God has chosen to rule and judge all people everywhere. One day Jesus told this story….
When the Son of Man comes as King, with all his angel host, he will separate mankind into two groups, just as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats in his flock. He will say to those on his right,”Come and possess the kingdom made ready for you! God’s blessing is on you. When I was hungry you fed me, and when I was thirsty you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you took me into your homes, naked and you gave me clothes; I was sick and you took care of me; I was in prison and you visited me.”
The righteous people were puzzled. They said,”Lord, we never saw you hungry or thirsty, homeless or ill, or in prison, and took care of you.”
“But whenever you did these things for one of the least important of my people, you were doing it for me,” the King told them.
Then he turned to those on his left,”Go right away from me,” he said sternly; “When I was hungry you did not feed me, and you gave me no water when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger you did not welcome me home. I was naked but you gave me no clothes; I was ill and in prison but you did not look after me.”
These people were puzzled too and protested,”We never saw you in need and refused to help you!”
“Whenever you refused to help any of the least important of my people,” the King told them,”You were refusing to help me.”
Jesus ended with these solemn words,”Their future will be eternal punishment but the righteous will enjoy eternal life.”
