Sheep, Goats, and the Least of These

In Matthew 25, Jesus describes the judgment at the end of days. The Son of Man will divide the nations like a shepherd separating sheep from goats. The sheep on His right will enter the kingdom. The goats on His left will enter eternal fire. This passage is the culmination of Jesus's teaching. The point He is making may surprise you but it is consistent with everything Jesus taught, whether He was speaking to a crowd or an individual. Sheep, Goats, And The Least Of These is an examination of what it is that Jesus Christ recognizes as saving faith. Looking at encounters Jesus had with individual people, such as the Roman centurion, the Woman at the Well, described in the Gospels, as well as particular parables He told, (The Prodigal Son, The Pharisee and the Tax Gatherer in the Temple) there is a common denominator to the kind of faith that saves.
