The Latter Parables Of Jesus 18
Series The Latter Parables Of Jesus
INTRO: We have come to the very last parable the Lord Jesus ever gave. It is the parable of the ‘Sheep and Goat’ judgment. This is the second longest parable Jesus gave. Only the parable of the prodigal son is longer than this one, so we have a very important parable. Go to Matthew 24 (read 1-3). I have mentioned to you that the disciples asked three questions of Jesus in verse 3. First, “Tell us, when will these things be…” I mentioned to you that the ‘these things’ do not refer to verses 1-2, but to the things Jesus told them about as they went from the temple to the Mount of Olives. They would have descended down the slopes of the temple mount, through the valley of the Kidron, and up the slopes of the Mount of Olives and on into the Garden of Gethsemane. This is where Judas found Jesus when he came with the band of soldiers.
And as I understand this Olivet Discourse, Jesus answers their first question in 24:4-31. Here is a whole listing of the ‘these things’ the disciples asked about and they end at the second coming of Christ.
