Then he will say to those on the other side, depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me. I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
They also will answer, Lord when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and did not help you? He will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these you did not do for me. Matthew 25:31-45
Another one of those bumps in the road. I want to be more like Jesus and to serve Him more by serving others.
Between all the heated discussions and debates over who or what is right, I just wonder, which are we, the sheep or goat

One of the most powerful passages in the New Testament, and this is one of the few times that Jesus actually gives us a picture of judgement and it has little to do with orthadoxy and everything to do with orthapraxy. Great post and reminder....
