The Poison of Indifference (Sheep and Goats)Matthew 25:31-46

Love is the reason for our existence. We were made for love and can only

know the purpose and meaning of our lives when we are receiving love and giving it away.

“I’m telling the solemn truth, whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me –you did it to me!”

(The Message v.40)

He will answer them, ‘I’m telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me – you failed to do it to me.”
