Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

Luke 12:32

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 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. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.”

Matthew 25:31-34

An eternal kingdom, one which has existed from the very beginning of the world, waits for those who are the meek and humble sheep of our Shepherd and King. Unlike his ancestor David, Lord Jesus did not put down his Shepherd’s staff and take up a sword of bloodshed. He gently guides his flock to fields of peace so that they can find rest and comfort.

Praise God for his wonderful plan.
