Reflecting His Love
In Mathew 25:31–32, we encounter a powerful picture of Jesus’ return. He will come in glory, with all the angels, seated on His throne, and He will separate people as a shepherd separates sheep from goats. This scene is not just about a future event—it calls us to examine our lives today.
The shepherd imagery is significant. In biblical times, sheep and goats often grazed together, but they had different natures. Sheep followed their shepherd’s voice, trusting and depending on him. Goats, however, were more independent. Jesus uses this imagery to remind us that it’s not enough to appear good on the outside—what matters is whether we are following Him in our hearts.
As Jesus calls us to reflect His love, we must ask: are we living as his sheep, obedient to His voice and showing love to others as He has shown to us? Serving others, especially those in need, is a way to follow Jesus and honor Him. Our actions toward the least of these are ultimately acts of service to Jesus Himself.
The Mission of God
All of our lives are spent on something.
Most people spend their days focused on growing a family, building a career, or amassing possessions. While none of those things are necessarily wrong, they can become distractions from our ultimate goal in life.
In the book of Acts, we see Paul’s transformation in Christ. As a result of meeting Jesus and being changed by His grace, Paul spends the rest of his life preaching the good news of Jesus.
For Paul, God’s grace and salvation were so great that nothing on this earth could compare to doing His work.
Paul said that nothing in his life mattered as much as telling others about God’s grace. His goal in life was to finish his own race well by faithfully accomplishing as much of the mission of God as possible:
"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace."
