Are We Sheep or Goats?

Yes this is the day for Matthew 27 if you are reading one chapter a day.  But I'm convicted to share from Matthew 25:31-46 (The Message). 

Jesus speaks of his return and how seated on a glorious throne he will sort out the peoples from all the nations as a shepherd sorts--putting sheep to his right and goats to his left.
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by my Father!  Take what's coming to you in this kingdom.  It's been ready for you since the world's foundation.  And here's why:
          I was hungry and you fed me,
          I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
          I was homeless and you gave me a room.
          I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
          I was sick and you stopped to visit,
          I was in prison and you came to me.'
The "sheep" question when they had ever seen King Jesus in these conditions and he replies, "I'm telling the solemn truth:  Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me--you did it to me"
Next the king addresses the "goats" on his left.  "Get out, worthless goats!  You're good for nothing but the fires of hell.  And why?  Because--
          I was hungry and you gave me no meal,
          I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
          I was homeless and you gave me no bed,
          I was shivering and you gave me no clothes,
          Sick and in prison, and you never visited."
And when the "goats" ask what He is talking about He answers,  "'I'm telling the solemn truth:  Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was overlooked or ignored, that was me--you failed to do it to me.'  Then the 'goats' will be herded to their eternal doom, but the 'sheep' to their eternal reward."

My study notes say, "the basis for judgment will be whether love is shown to God's people (1John 3:14-15)."   Okay, we can look at it through that lense.  Then we must ask:  Are we caring for each other in the ways the King described? 

Now here's another perspective:  As I associate with folks in York City, in my neighborhood, or in my family, who may not be believers, am I not supposed to treat these people, who I know God loves, as the "sheep" would treat them?
So who am I?  Who are you?  Who are we as the body of Asbury Church?

Lord,
Help us to be your sheep!
