"But when the Son of Man comes in His
glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit upon His glorious throne.
All the nations will be gathered in His presence, and He will separate the
people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the
sheep at His right hand and the goats at His left. Then the King will say to
those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and
you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you
invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick,
and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.' Then these
righteous ones will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you?
Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you
hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or
in prison and visit you?' And the King will say, 'I tell you the truth, when
you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing
it to me!' Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, 'Away with
you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his
demons. For I was hungry, and you didn't feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn't
give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn't invite me into your home. I
was naked, and you didn't give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you
didn't visit me.' Then they will reply, 'Lord, when did we ever see you hungry
or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?'
"And He will answer, 'I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the
least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.' And they
will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal
life." Matthew 25:31-46
Judgement…Jesus is seated on His throne.
Listen in to what this parable tells us that Jesus will say. We need to treat everyone as if they were
Jesus. I see part of Jesus mission on earth was just to teach us how we should
live and treat others. Good thing that those lessons were recorded in the Bible—because
mankind just needs those lessons over and over…I do.
This parable is
similar to what we read in Psalm… There is joy for those who deal justly with others and always do what
is right. Psalm 106:3.

Do to others whatever you would like them to
do to you. Matthew 7:12. Jesus was just giving basic human kindness lesson
that every two year old must learn.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy
of praise, dwell on these things. Philippians 4:8 NASB. Simply…do what is
right and what is right is probably how you want others to treat you. Can you
follow Jesus example and teachings? His promise for the righteous is eternal
life. That is worth trying to mold our lives by Jesus’ principles.
And one of my
favorite verses echoes the same thought…
Prayer
~ Lord, help me to do whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever
is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, and if there is any
excellence and if anything worthy of praise, may my thoughts dwell on these
things. Philippians 4:8 NASB.
