THE DESTINY OF SHEEP (FOLLOWERS OF JESUS) AND GOATS (THOSE NOT FOLLOWING JESUS)

Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.’ —Matthew 25:34

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’ —Matthew 25:41

“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” —Matthew 25:46

             There are only two groups of people on this earth when it comes to who will be saved and who will not.  The sheep are those whose Shepherd is Jesus are doing His will.  The goats are those who do not want Jesus as their Shepherd and are doing their own will.  Which are you?  Whose will are you following?  Whose will motivates you? 

             Of those sheep (followers of Jesus) on the right hand of Jesus, the place of favor, Jesus says, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.”  Wow!  This kingdom, brothers and sisters, has been prepared for “since the creation of the world” and Jesus has gone there to prepare a place for us (John 14:2-3).  Rejoice!

             Of those goats (those not following Jesus on His left-hand Jesus says, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”  If you are reading this and have not called on Jesus, heed this warning.  I do not understand how someone can be in an everlasting fire forever, but listen to this…

“And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” —Revelation 20:10

             When you read the context of Revelation chapters 19 & 20 you see that the beast and false prophet had been “thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur” (Revelation 19:20).  Satan also was bound for one thousand years before God released him and then he too was through into the lake of fire “where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown” and had already been there for one thousand years!

             Nobody should want to hear these words for the mouth of Jesus— “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.”  Heed the warning if you have not called on Jesus.  There are only two destinies.  Where are you going after death? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYZw0dfLmLk I asked that question to Zach, a 19-year-old, and he had never talked about these things.  So, we who know Jesus, let us share the good news with others!  Yes, Dear Father, may it be so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus. Are you ready! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vfvf7If7C4&list=RD2vfvf7If7C4&start_radio=1
