1. The Parable of the Sheep & Goats

2. Parable of the Sheep & Goats Matthew 25:31-46

3. G O A T S The bad Didn’t give drink Didn’t give food Didn’t give clothes Didn’t give shelter Didn’t visit those in jail Didn’t look after the sick S H E E P The Good Gave drink Gave food Gave clothes Gave shelter Visited those in jail Looked after the sick

4. What does it mean? At the end of the world God will judge people on their behaviour & the choices they have made. God will separate the good from the bad like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. On his right will be the GOOD (sheep). They will be with him in heaven. On his left will be the bad (goats). They will be sent away from him. God judges us on how we treat our fellow humans. As we are all created in His image.

5. Dear Lord, Open our eyes and our hearts so that we welcome those who are hungry and thirsty, those who are abandoned and lonely, and those who are poor and sick. Let your love shine through us so that we do your will. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
