(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. The sheep He invites\n to enter into the kingdom prepared for them before the foundation\n of the world. The goats hear a different verdict.\n\n Then he will say to those on his left, ``Depart from\n me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the\n devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me\n no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was\n a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you\n did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not\n visit me.'' Then they also will answer, saying,\n ``Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a\n stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not\n minister to you?'' Then he will answer them, saying,\n ``Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of\n the least of these, you did not do it to me.''\n\n\n Where the sheep were blessed by the Father, the goats are\n cursed by their own words. Where heaven is prepared for people,\n hell is unfit for human habitation. The eternal torment is the\n result of rejecting God.\n\n The goats readily admit they did not listen to or care for\n those sent by God to proclaim the forgiveness of sins for the\n sake of Christ. They didn't have to martyr those who preach the\n good news. Indifference is just as condemning.\n\n May our Lord grant that we hear His Word, and that His Word\n creates the faith which holds firmly to His promise of eternal\n life. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"November 20, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4040"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4041,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4040\/revisions\/4041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
