When everything feels uncertain, who do we choose to care for?

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the story of the sheep and the goats. Neither group recognizes his presence among those who are hungry, vulnerable, or in need. Yet one responds with compassion, while the other turns away.

It's a powerful reminder that in times of upheaval, when circumstances can change in an instant, how we respond to the needs of others matters.

This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore concludes our series, Living Through the Apocalypse, with “What Are We Supposed to Do in the Apocalypse?” Together, we'll explore what it means to look beyond ourselves, recognize the needs around us, and choose compassion even when the future feels uncertain.

Preacher's Notes:
The Sheep and the Goats parable is told as an allegory, instead of a parable, which makes it a bit tricky to interpret. In both cases, neither the sheep nor the goats recognized Jesus’ presence in the marginalized. Why is that? What is it about apocalyptic times that makes us unable to see God working in the lives of the marginalized? Nevertheless, one group chooses to compassionately minister to them, even though they didn’t recognize Jesus’ divine presence.

This passage has been used many times to encourage church people to minister to the marginalized in our society. And that’s a perfectly good message. It’s something we should do and it’s something MPCov has done. Feel free to pat yourself on your back.

If this is an apocalyptic story, it begins with the assumption that lives will have the rug pulled out from under them and that many, even most, will find themselves shifted from the haves to the havenots—which may be one reason neither group saw Jesus in them. One group thought of others and served. One group thought of themselves and didn’t share.
