“A Day Of Division”

Categories: NEW TESTAMENT
     Please explain Mathew 25:31-46.

Sincerely,
Context Combing

Dear Context Combing,

Matt 25:31-46 is a description of what will happen on the Day of Judgment.  All mankind will be gathered before Jesus, the King of Kings, and judged for the choices they have made in this life.  Those who have lived wickedly and have not served Christ (the goats) will be cast into eternal punishment (Matt 25:41), and all those who have faithfully served Christ will enter into eternal life (Matt 31:46).  At the end of time, God will righteously separate the good from the bad, and there will be no mistakes.
