Are you a sheep or a goat? 🐑🐐 ?
The Parable of the Sheep and Goats is found in Matthews gospel 25:31-46. In the Bible.
In this parable, Jesus uses the example of a shepherd who separates his sheep from his goats in order to help his followers understand what judgement will be like.
🐐 Goats are those nasty creatures who are. self willed and disobedient they like to kick and head butt people who get in their way. They spread lies and deceit and can't wait to kick people who are down already! Worse than that they reject Jesus' salvation and his teachings.
🐑 Sheep on the other hand are gentle creatures who want to help others and are actively involved in doing small acts of kindness and mercy.
Jesus explains that people will be separated into two groups:
Sheep 🐑 • Are those who have lived good lives and believed in God will be put on one side and have a place in Heaven
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Goats🐐
• Are those who have rejected the belief in God and have sinned in their lives will be placed on the other side and will go to Hell.
🧔 Jesus explains that helping a person, whoever they are, whatever their need is just the same as if they were helping Jesus himself and is therefore a commandment for all Christians to obey.
