Be Wise as Serpents and Harmless as Doves

 

I’m not impressed by what people do but I’m impressed by what God does through people. I know enough about people; I don’t know enough about God. Men and women love to have significance with others. And if the others are simpletons, what fun they have! Which makes inflated egos. Animals don’t behave that way; it’s against God’s creation. That bush gets trimmed.

Jesus says, in the Holy Bible (KJ3 Version), Matthew chapter 25, verses 31 through 46 (the end): “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. And before Him shall be gathered all the nations; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And indeed He will set the sheep at His right, but the goats at the left hand. Then the King will say to those at His right, Come, the ones blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you gathered Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you came to see Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then the righteous ones will answer, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, and we fed You; or thirsting, and we gave You drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and gathered You in; or naked, and clothed You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, In so far as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me. Then He will also say to those at the left, Go away from Me, the ones cursed, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels. For I hungered, and you did not give Me a thing to eat. I thirsted and you did not give Me a thing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not gather Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not come to see Me. Then they also will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You? Then He will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, In as much as you did not do it to one of these, the least, neither did you do it to Me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”
