WAITING FOR JESUS

When the kingdom doors finally closed, we all expected that Jesus would appear to place his seal of approval on the outer door and to separate the sheep from the goats. The sheep are those who refrain from living as if life is already eternal, while the goats are those who seem to have settled affably into their comfort zones. The goats are thinking that they are home free and will coast from one eternity to the next undisturbed, while the sheep are busy trying to shed their outer garments of sin.

The sheep are the ones who will see the next eternity, while the goats already have their prize--freedom to sin. The sheep know that the greater prize is yet to come, and they will do everything in their power to ensure that when the doors open at the end of this eternity, they will leap forward into the next, and the next, and the next. They want to see all eternities, and all eternities, and all eternities combined. They want all that life has to give them. They want it all. They want it all and more. They want it all. They want it ALL.

The Lord God Almighty El Shaddai
