Matthew Chapter 25 - February 15, 2008

25:1-30 - I think Jesus is trying to drive home a point here...maybe it was the three different ways he explained this to us in chapter 24 or the back to back parables he uses to start out chapter 25...but I think he wants us to understand that we should be using the gifts, the life, the time he has given us in this world to serve him. What else have we got to do? Collect a bunch of stuff that means nothing when we die? Completely serve ourselves and seek pleasure which means nothing when we die? We were created for a purpose - love God, love people - and we are expected to be living that out.

25:31-46 - These are just about the most self-explanatory passages in the bible...which one are you? Are you so caught up in "religion" and life that you fail to see the sons and daughters of Christ that are walking through this world in need? Are you so tuned into your mission that you serve without bias?

Truly a challenge has been laid out here: are you too busy to notice those in need? How can we make it a point to serve?
