Hey everyone, this is Lockelaani. Aloha and welcome back to Amen podcast. Today we're diving into one of the

most powerful and honestly one of the most sobering passages in all of scripture, which is Matthew 25,

the final judgment. This is where Jesus pulls back the curtain on eternity and shows us what

really matters when we stand before him.

Here's what gets me about this passage. It's not about the big, flashy stuff. It's about the small acts of love that we show to people that nobody else notices.

The hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the sick, the prisoner. Jesus says when we care

for the least of these, we're actually caring for him. But there is a twist. The righteous people

in the story are completely surprised. They don't even remember doing these things. And that's the

whole point. Real faith isn't about

keeping score or trying to earn your way into heaven. It's about being so transformed by Jesus

that serving others just flows naturally out of who we've become. We're going to break this

entire passage down while Alex is. And we're going to look at what it means to be a sheep versus a goat.

Whatever you have is great, but that's the version we'll be reading from.

All right. All right. Thank you for that beautiful well put intro. Let's get into it.

So we're in Matthew 25, 31 through 46. Let's look at verse 31 and we're just going to walk through

this together. Instead of us reading the whole thing like sermon style, we know that you guys are

studying along with us, most of you, or you're listening

to this as if it is a conversation between us and you. And so, yeah, to save ourselves from

reading this long passage, let's just read through this together, just this time. First 31. But when
