We can fool each other, but we can't fool God ('*iMildred Peppers Sunday m School Lesson Lesson Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lesson aims: to recognize that individuals are not the judge for humanity, to under stand that the way you treat others is a reflection of your love for Christ and to concen trate on being prepared for His return instead of when He returns. Background: Jesus and His disciples left the temple at the beginning of Chapter 24. They commented on the beau ty of the temple. Jesus responded that it would be torn down. That generated many quesGbns about the future. The major ones were: When will the temple come down? What will be the sign of His coming? What will be the sign of the end? Jesus answered them in reverse order using a parable. Very common ideas from the Old Testament were used as the signs for the end of the age: great distress, wars, growing wickedness and persecution. Jesus didn't give them any signs about the destruction of the temple. The remainder of Chapter 24 (verse 36) through Chapter 25 focuses on watchfulness instead of a timetable. Jesus wanted them to be ready because no one knows the day or the hour that He will return. The first two parables in this chapter highlight what believ ers ought to be doing: serving faithfully and putting talents to use for Him. Lesson: When Jesus comes the second time. He will be in '"His glory." Not bound by flesh and earthly cloths. He will be wrapped in light upon chariots of the sun ("UM1 Direction Teacher"). Close examination of this passage makes it more of a prophecy than a parable. Holy angels will accompa ny this King of King,s 'as He sits on the throne. The judge of humanity will summon all nations. This judgment is not collective but based on the actions of each individual. Jesus exemplified humility, honesty and compassion, and ftow He comes for those who are godly. He is the Good Shepherd and He knows His sheep. By the same token, they know Him. Sheep are mentioned often in Scripture. Many times sheep and goatherds graze together. The shepherd leads them, finds water and suitable grazing, and protects them. Goats, 011 the other hand, have an offensive odor and are strong willed. "These animals will eat anything, including bark and twigs" ("The Bible A<ipianac"). The returning Lord will separate the people into one of the previous categories. This division is based on how peo ple are treated. The criteria are given. The sheep that are on the right followed the standard by Christ and the goats didn't. The sheep symbolize blessing, honor and favor. On the left, goats represent worthlessness and condemnation. Application: Sooner or later, the Last Judgment is coming. Far too often we get caught up in the "when" instead of concentrating on "preparedness." Stop fretting. Are you ready? There's no stopping it; you don't need to call anyone. Jesus is our role model; follow Him. You do get tired and yes at times it can be inconvenient. At times it is costly. On Sunday at St. Stephens Baptist Church, the Pastor's Aide had a program. The drama "Company's Coming" was a part of it. It is a delight ful play in which a Christian woman is expecting an impor tant visitor. She turns away all of the people who needed her in preparation for her guest>At the end, she gets the message. Sometimes we lose sight of the Lord's standards and forget about the "least" of these. We must remain humble (all have sinned), do justly and have compassion for others. Our motives must be pure (love)! We know the expectations. As Nike puts it. "Just do it!" Jesus is coming back to judge all of humanity. Don't you want to be on the right? We can fool each other: we can't fool the all-wise and all-knowing God. See you in Sunday school.
