Looking toward Sunday

This Sunday we continue our exploration of the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats as part of our MT25 program.  Ponder this: The "sheep" and the "goats" both respond with surprise that Jesus was present in the hungry, thirsty, stranger, naked, sick, and imprisoned.  They both repeat the very same question ("Lord, when was it that we saw you...").  The difference between the righteous sheep and the unrighteous goats is in their motivation for helping (or not helping).  The goats would have served "the least of these" also, had known they would earn points for it.  The sheep simply did the right thing out of compassion, with no expectation of reward.
