The Lord's Return
In the 24th and 25th chapters of Matthew, Jesus addressed two very important
events. He began by dealing with the destruction of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem (24:4-35). He continued by dealing with His return (24:36-25:46). The Lord presented this information because He wanted His followers to be prepared for these great events.
According to historical records, the temple was destroyed in 70 AD when the Romans ransacked Jerusalem. However, concerning His return, no one knows the day or the time (24:36). Consequently, the Lord repeatedly warned His followers to get prepared and to stay prepared (24:42, 44; 25:1)
As Jesus concluded His discussion of His return (25:31-46), He emphasized the fact that a separation will occur. He began by saying: “When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left" (vs.31-33).
Those on the Lord's right hand will receive a great reward (vs.34-40). These are the ones who will have ministered to the Lord through the service they performed on behalf of others: “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (vs.40). The reward given to these righteous people is described as “life eternal" (vs.46b).
Those on the Lord's left hand will be punished (vs.41-45). These are the ones who will have failed to minister to the Lord by failing to serve others: “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me" (vs.45). The penalty assessed to these people is described as “everlasting punishment" (vs.46a).
To be prepared for the Lord's return we must obey the Gospel (Mark 16:16), and we must remain faithful to Him (Revelation 2:10). He wants us to use the blessings, talents, and abilities that He provides. He also wants us to minister to Him by taking advantage of opportunities to serve others. Are you ready for the Lord's return? ~Keith Hovis
