(ESV)\n\n The Gospel reading for this week, the Second Last Sunday of\n the Church Year, concerns the judgment, when Christ returns and\n the angels separate all people into two groups. On His right\n hand are the sheep, on His left the goats. Jesus invited the\n sheep on His right to enter into the kingdom prepared for them\n from before the foundation of the world.\n\n Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ``Lord,\n when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and\n give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and\n welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we\n see you sick or in prison and visit you?'' And the\n King will answer them, ``Truly, I say to you, as you\n did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you\n did it to me.''\n\n\n We do not earn our salvation from sin, death, and the power\n of the devil. Those on the right protest that they are not\n worthy of heaven, that they did not do the good works attributed\n to them.\n\n Jesus, however, says that the way they treated His brothers,\n the ones He sent to proclaim the forgiveness of sins for the sake\n of His suffering, death, and resurrection, is the same as doing\n it directly to Him. Earlier in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus said\n essentially the same thing: ``Whoever receives you receives me,\n and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.''[1]\n\n Good works, the way we respond to the message of God's love,\n grace, and mercy, are the result of our faith in Christ Jesus.\n We are declared holy and righteous in God's sight for the sake of\n Christ. How we support the Office of the Ministry reflects God's\n love for each of us.\n\n May our Lord grant that we hear His word and grow in faith\n towards Him. Amen.\n\n\n ____________________\n\n 1.
