"Sheep and Goats" – Matthew 25:31-45
Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, November 26, 2023. "Over the centuries, this passage has been described as the 'Judgement of the Pagans' or the 'Last Judgement.' Jesus is seen separating sheep and goats, rewarding them or condemning them according to their actions, or lack thereof. . . . when we pay attention to what Matthew is saying, the question here is not, 'Am I going to heaven?' or 'Will I be saved?' or 'Am I a sheep or a goat?' If we were asking these questions, Matthew would say we have missed the point. I think that the question rightly asked here is not what happens at the end of things, but more like how are we supposed to be living right now? How does Jesus call us to live? What would our lives be like—how would our lives be different if we lived as though Christ were King?"
