Happy Saturday to everyone. I just poured a large steaming cup of Door County Cherry Coffee for myself. It's quiet in the house and it is time to write.
I am continuing a series on Eternal Perspectives with part two today. So as we continue.
Secondly we begin to view the world with an eye toward eternity by focusing on the needs of others. As Jesus sacrificed himself for the sins of the world, we must learn to live selflessly rather than selfishly. At the judgement, those who fed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, clothed the naked, cared for the sick, and visited those in prison will be rewarded as if they had done these things for Jesus himself.
Mathew 25:31-40 31. "When the Son of Man Comes in His glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32. All the nations will be gathered before him and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34. The the King will say to those on the right, 'Come you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36. I needed clothes and you gave me something to wear, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
37. The the righteous will answer him, 'Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you. or see you thirsty and give you something to drink? 38. When did we see you as a stranger and house you, or needing clothes and clothe you? 40. When did we see you sick and care for you, or visit you in prison?
40. The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Having an Eternal Outlook or Perspective means that your heart is beating for others. A heart beats best when it beats for others. It turns those frowns to smiles. It give us something to look forward to.
Part three tomorrow.
