take Jesus' word on it .. . not mine ..

Jesus speaks ..

“ When the Son of Man comes in his glory and all his angels are with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. The people of every nation will be gathered in front of him. 
He will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 
He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, my Father has blessed you! Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world.

            I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. 

 I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. 

                                                          I was a stranger, and you took me into your home. 

                       I needed clothes, and you gave me something to wear. 

        I was sick, and you took care of me. 

                                                     I was in prison, and you visited me.’

“Then the people who have God’s approval will reply to him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you as a stranger and take you into our homes or see you in need of clothes and give you something to wear? When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

The king will answer them, ' I assure you: whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did to me.’

Then the king will say to those on his left, ‘Get away from me! You are cursed! Go into everlasting fire that was prepared for the devil and his angels! I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me into your homes. I needed clothes, and you didn’t give me anything to wear. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t take care of me.’

They, too, will ask, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or as a stranger or in need of clothes or sick or in prison and didn’t help you?’

He will answer them, ' I assure you: Whatever you failed to do for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you failed to do to me.’

These people will go away into eternal punishment, but those with God’s approval will go into eternal life.”

walk away from that ..

twist it
spin it
attribute it to hearsay
call it ' lore '
rationalize it
theologize it

then deal with it ..

either now
or later
when we face Jesus himself
