The Gospel of Jesus The Rapture Separating the Sheep from the Goats

Jesus closes His Olivet Discourse sermon with the prophetic words to His disciples. Jesus in His teaching includes these words, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'

As a Christian what is your ultimate goal? What is the brass ring you are trying to achieve? To be on the right hand of Jesus or the left? In biblical terms being on the right hand of Jesus depicts power, honor and is considered to be superior. Conversely, on the left depicts being unfavorable in the sight of the King with no honor and no power. In a sense in time out. Unfortunately when Jesus judges the world, timeout is everlasting whether you are in everlasting punishment or eternal life.

We all know the truth if you are filled with the Holy Spirit. God speaks into each one of us to do the right thing. As He has treated his followers, we are to treat His followers in the same way. As Jesus treats people, we should treat them in the same fashion. Jesus' words here do not represent 'works for salvation' but, they do represent what is expected from us in our earthly ministries.

Jesus warns that our time is short and He will be the Judge of ALL nations, not just the Christian nations. We will all sit on the bema seat of judgment and through Jesus teaching in the Olivet discourse, He provides a way for His disciples to endure to the end, to treat people with love and respect. To take the gifts God has given us and use them to fulfill the will of His Father. But most importantly, to hear 'well done good and faithful servant', to become more righteous for the rest of our days and live for eternity.

My prayer is that you will embrace the teachings of Jesus and take them seriously. To heed His warnings and follow the godly life He has given to you. To allow Jesus to refine your mind, to cleanse your heart, but most importantly, to allow the Love of Jesus to pour into you so that it will pour out of you. This all to the glory of His Father in heaven that we may one day sit at the table with Jesus for eternity in heaven. In Jesus Mighty Name Amen! Amen!
