What Does The Parable Of The Sheep And Goats Teach

Introduction

Jesus told many parables that taught important lessons about how to live our lives and how God desires us to treat one another. The Parable of the Sheep and Goats is one such parable, which teaches the importance of caring for others and serving them in their time of need.

Matthew 25:31-46 offers a series of teachings on what will happen at the end of time.

Matthew 25:31-46 offers a series of teachings on what will happen at the end of time. Jesus is teaching about the end of time to His disciples, who are concerned about when He will return. This section is known as the parable of the sheep and goats or judgment of nations (v 34). The phrase “valley of decision” refers to a place where people make decisions about their future together, like at a town meeting or conference.

Christ returns in glory after this period to judge all nations according to their treatment of Israel during their history (Matt 24:36; Rom 11:25-32). He rewards those who have helped Israel through times past with eternal life (the sheep), while he condemns others who have mistreated them or refused assistance until now (the goats) because they rejected God’s mercy offered through his Son Jesus Christ at an earlier time point before His second coming occurs again on earth during His millennial reign over Jerusalem for 1000 years after Armageddon ends worldwide warfare has ended for all nations under Lucifer’s control under Satan’s evil influence over them .

It is also known as the ‘Judgment of the Nations.’

It is also known as the ‘Judgment of the Nations.’ The parable of the sheep and goats teaches that at a time not mentioned by Jesus, God will judge all nations. He will separate people into two groups: those who helped His people (the sheep) and those who harmed them (the goats). Those on His right hand have accepted His salvation by faith in Jesus Christ, while those on His left hand have rejected it. We are not told how long this process will take or how many believers there are among both groups.

Jesus begins by saying that when he comes back in glory, he will gather all nations before him to separate them into two groups.

Jesus will gather all nations before him to separate them into two groups. One group is sheep and the other is goats. Jesus will judge people based on their actions, not their words. The sheep got into heaven because they helped people in need and did good deeds for others.

One group consists of the sheep and the other of the goats.

One group consists of the sheep and the other of the goats. The sheep represent those who feed, clothe, visit and give drink to Jesus’ “brothers” (Matthew 25:35). In other words, they are generous with their resources to those in need. The goats represent those who did not do these things for Jesus’ brothers in need (Matthew 25:44-46). For this reason they are sent away into eternal punishment while the righteous enter into an eternity blessed by God himself (Matthew 25:31-33).

This parable teaches us that we should be generous towards those less fortunate than ourselves. If we use our time and money wisely then it will be well spent on helping others rather than ourselves

The sheep are those who feed, clothe, visit and give drink to Jesus’ ‘brothers’.

The sheep are those who feed, clothe, visit and give drink to Jesus’ ‘brothers’.

The brother of Christ is anyone in need who is not a family member.

In the parable he specifically mentions:

• The hungry (feeding)
• The thirsty (drinking)
• The stranger (visiting)

This group asks Jesus when they did these things for him.

This group of people asks Jesus when they did these things for him. They are surprised to hear that they have done these things for Jesus, and wonder when it was. Jesus tells them that this is something they will do when he returns.

These people do not realize that by serving others in need, they have also served Christ.

The parable of the sheep and goats is a message to us that we are called to serve others in need. Jesus said, “I was hungry and you fed me… I was naked and you clothed me… I was thirsty and you gave me drink… Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my brethren even these least ones, ye did it unto Me” (Matthew 25:34-36).

It is clear from this passage that when we serve others, we are serving Christ. We cannot separate ourselves from Him; His presence is with us through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us (Romans 8:9). And so, when we serve those around us who are in need—whether it be physical or spiritual—we are serving Christ.

Jesus tells them that when they did these things for their brothers, they also did it for him.

Jesus tells them that when they did these things for their brothers, they also did it for him. This is a clear statement of Jesus’ teaching on the second great commandment. By serving the least of these, you are serving Christ himself.

In your home:

• Pray for your family members and friends who need healing in their body, mind or spirit.
• Take care of those who are sick and visit those in hospitals or other facilities where people are being cared for by others.
• Do small acts of kindness such as bringing over some food when someone is sick or helping to clean up after a party if someone else has done all the cooking and cleaning (or even just offered to help).

In your community:

• Volunteer at local homeless shelters or soup kitchens; visit prisoners; volunteer at nursing homes; etc…

These people receive mercy from Christ and inherit his kingdom.

The sheep are those who serve Christ by serving others in their need. The goats are those who do not serve Christ by serving others in their need. Those who do good deserve to receive it in return, while those who do evil will be punished for what they have done. This is because God is just and righteous, and he will give everyone what he deserves according to his deeds (Matthew 16:27).

If one does not follow the commands of Jesus Christ and does not perform good deeds for his fellow man, then he cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven where God dwells with His angels (Matthew 7:21-23).

The goats are those who did not do these things for Jesus’ brothers in need.

The goats are those who did not do these things for Jesus’ brothers in need. This means that they are not doing what is required of them to be saved by God. They are supposed to serve God’s people when they need help, but instead, the goats just sat around waiting for their own needs to be met by God—just like the rich man in this parable did.

They are condemned to eternal punishment and banished from God’s presence for eternity.

Now, it’s important to keep in mind that this is not a simple “you have to believe in Jesus or you go to hell” situation. You see, when a person dies and their body is buried, they are separated from God’s presence for eternity. This is what Jesus warns about in Matthew 25:31-46:

This is the same fate that awaits those who do not follow Jesus’ commandment to love one another as He has loved them (see John 13:34). Those who reject His love will be banished from His presence forever.

When we truly love our neighbor as ourselves, we love Christ himself and we can inherit his kingdom in heaven forever.

When we truly love our neighbor as ourselves, we love Christ himself and we can inherit his kingdom in heaven forever. This is why Jesus’ teaching of the parable of the sheep and goats is so important. It teaches us how to live our lives now so that when it comes time for us to be judged by him, we will be found worthy of eternal life with him in heaven.

Conclusion

The parable of the sheep and the goats can be difficult to understand. It is a powerful story that reminds us that we should always help the less fortunate because God may be present in them. Hopefully, this guide has helped you better understand the story and how we can apply it in our daily lives.
