we are sheep 🐑

Matthew 25:34
"Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"

We are sheep!
When Jesus returns, He will come with all His holy angels in majestic splendor, sit on His glorious throne, and begin the final judgment as supreme Judge of all humanity. Nations will stand before Him and be divided: sheep on the right, goats on the left.

Jesus draws the perfect, final line between righteous and unrighteous—not by nationality or religion, but by how we treated “the least of these.”

In biblical symbolism, the right hand represents honor and blessing, the left disfavor. 

Placement by the King determines eternal destiny: life for the sheep, punishment for the goats.

In today’s verse:
“Come”: A gracious, personal invitation to eternal life, echoing Jesus’ earthly calls (e.g., Matthew 11:28).

“Blessed by My Father”: Favored by God through divine grace and election, not personal merit (Ephesians 1:3–4).

“Inherit the kingdom”: Eternal life as a gift—an inheritance for God’s children, never earned.

“Prepared for you from the foundation of the world”: God’s plan of salvation was set before creation, never an afterthought but part of His eternal purpose for His people.

This verse beautifully reveals grace, divine foreknowledge, and the intimate depth of God’s redemptive plan—wonderful gifts bestowed on the sheep in Jesus’ flock.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
