All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people
one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats,
"Of course," he replied. Promptly he carefully spread the soft lip balm on his lips while
reading his book. It was an extremely sour chap stick, but it felt good, so he put another
generous layer on his lips just as the girl's mother came calling through the house,
"Kortney, what did you do with my glue stick?"
Surprise! That's the sort of picture of the last day that Jesus gives us--people are
surprised. The sheep don't understand what they've done to experience such an honor.
The goats will say, "Jesus, there must be some mistake! I'm in the wrong place. I
should be on the right side with the sheep."
With Christ is our hearts, we will always be ready.
(Matthew
25:32
NRSV)
Van Hurst, a pastor in Killeen, Texas tells about being seated on the living room floor
reading when his little four-year-old daughter came running up wanting his attention.
Holding a tube of flavored chap stick in her hand she asked, "Do you want some?"
Dear God, may I be fully prepared for your heavenly kingdom. Amen.
