Devotion for Sermon 2:
“All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left.”
“I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; He shall come to judge the living and the dead.”
Take time to answer these questions, to think on these questions, and to let your answers move you. Feel free to blog your answers, write your answers in a journal, or simply keep them in your mind.
- Think / Reflect on what it means to be a sheep, goat, goat in sheep clothing, both at different times.
- Is God calling us to live into the reality of sheep/goat? Is God calling us to own who we are—our brokenness and our wholeness?
- How has God moved you from a place of brokenness to wholeness? Think about examples of this is your life and reflect on your feelings before, during, and after. Did you realize that God was restoring you while it was happening?
Prayer:
O God, My Redeemer
You have called me out of darkness into light. You have restored the brokenness in me. Continue to restore me and make me whole. Redeem me daily for I so easily fall apart. Give me your strength and newness of life.
In the name of the one who saves,
Amen
