710. Sheep and Goats

By: James M. Freeman

Narrator: Chris Genthree

Matthew 25:32

Matthew 25:32³²And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (Matthew 25:32). He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.

Sheep and goats are allowed to mingle during the day while at pasturage, but at night are separated. Thus the Saviour seeks to illustrate the truth that though righteous and wicked are now together, there will come a time of separation.
