Sermon: The Chronological Life of Christ #150 The Final Week Judgement Day Surprises
Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 John 1:11
Notes:
First, There’s The Judgment. Verse 31.
When He came the first time, there was little glory to be seen.
Over His first coming, write the world HUMILITY
Over His Second Coming write the word GLORY
When He finally returns, every eye will see Him
Secondly, The Surprising Separation Verses 32-33.
We sort all types of things. Laundry, boys and girls, candy, weeds from vegetables, money.
Sheep to the right, goats to the left. This judgment is a public separation of the two groups of people
Thirdly, The Surprising Standard.
The blessed are where they are because of what they had done for Jesus.
There is real judgment for those who reject God and His ways.
This verse conclusively refutes two contemporary heresies, universalism and annihilationism.
Universalism is the belief that in the end everyone, everywhere will be saved.
Annihilationism, as its name suggests, is the belief that the unsaved do not suffer eternal punishment but are simply destroyed by God.
Fourthly, there is one more surprise in the parable.
Neither the sheep nor the goats, the blessed on the right nor the cursed on the left, had any idea that what they had being doing had eternal consequences.
