TRANSCRIPT
Matthew 25: 31-46Matthew 25 31 When the Son of Man
comes in his glory with all of his angels, he will sit on his royal
throne.32 The people of all nations will be brought before him, and he will
separate them, as shepherds separate their sheep from their goats. 33 He will
place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 Then the king will say to those on his right, “My father
has blessed you! Come and receive the kingdom that was prepared for you
before the world was created.
35 When I was hungry, you gave me something to eat, and when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you
welcomed me, 36 and when I was naked, you gave me clothes to wear. When I was sick, you took care of me, and when I was in jail, you visited me.”
37 Then the ones who pleased the Lord will ask, “When did we give you
something to eat or drink? 38 When did we welcome you as a stranger or give
you clothes to wear 39 or visit you while you were sick or in jail?”
40 The king will answer, “Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter
how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me.” 41 Then the king will say to those on his left, “Get away from me!
You are under God’s curse. Go into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels! 42 I was hungry, but you did not give me anything to eat, and I was thirsty, but you did not give me
anything to drink. 43 I was a stranger, but you did not welcome me, and I was
naked, but you did not give me any clothes to wear. I was sick and in jail,
but you did not take care of me.”
44 Then the people will ask, “Lord, when did we fail to help you when
you were hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
jail?” 45 The king will say to them, “Whenever you failed to help any of
my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you failed to do it for me.” 46 Then
Jesus said, “Those people will be punished forever. But the ones who pleased God will have eternal life.”
In my own little world it hardly ever rains - I've never gone hungry, always
felt safe - I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet - In my own
little world – Population me
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church - I throw a
twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts - and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see - it's easy to do
when it's - population me
What if there's a bigger picture.
What if I'm missing out. What if there's a greater
purpose.I could be living right
now… Outside my own little
world
41 Then the king will say to those on his left, “Get away from me! You are
under God’s curse. Go into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil
and his angels! 42 I was hungry, but you did not give me anything to eat,
and I was thirsty, but you did not give me anything to drink. 43 I was a
stranger, but you did not welcome me, and I was naked, but you did not
give me any clothes to wear. I was sick and in jail, but you did not take
care of me.”
44 Then the people will ask, “Lord, when did we fail to help you when
you were hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
jail?” 45 The king will say to them, “Whenever you failed to help any of
my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you failed to do it for me.” 46 Then
Jesus said, “Those people will be punished forever. But the ones who pleased God will have eternal life.”
And those he predestined, he also
called; those he called, he also
justified; those he justified, he also
glorified. -- Romans 8:30
4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have
the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member
belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of
us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance
with your faith;
7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give
encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is
to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it
cheerfully. -- Romans 12:4-8
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not
received mercy, but now you have received mercy. -- 1 Peter 2:9-10
Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours
Give me open hands and open doors
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not
about me
