JESUS IDENTIFIES WITH BOTH JEWS AND CHRISTIANS!

THE JUDGMENT OF THE GENTILES AT HIS SECOND COMING!

JESUS IDENTIFIES HIMSELF WITH THE JEWS!

Matthew 25:31-46 (Based upon the King James Version)
       When the Son of man (Jesus - see Mt. 16:13) shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory:  and before Him shall be gathered all nations (Gentiles):  and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:  and He shall set the (righteous*) sheep on His right, but the (unrighteous) goats on the His left.  Then shall the King say unto them on His right, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  for I was hungry, and you gave Me food:  I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink:  I was a stranger, and you took Me in:  I was naked, and you clothed Me:  I was sick, and you visited Me:  I was in prison, and you came unto Me.
       Then shall the righteous* answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You?  Or thirsty, and gave You drink?  When did we see You as a stranger, and took You in?  Or naked, and we clothed You?  Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and we came unto You?
       And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren (the Jews - see Jn. 1:11), you have done it unto Me.
       Then shall He say also unto those on His left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  for I was hungry, and you gave Me no food: I was thirsty, and you gave Me no drink:  I was a stranger, and you did not take Me in:   I was naked, and you gave Me no clothing:  I was sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.
       Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto You?
       Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you failed to do it to one of the least of these My brethren, you failed to do it for Me.
       And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:  but the righteous* into life eternal.

[Notes: 
        *  The "righteous" were not righteous because they ministered to the Lord's brethren, the Jews; they ministered to the Jews because they had been given GOD'S righteousness when they placed their faith in Jesus Christ!  Man's "righteousness" is worthless; it is as a filthy rag, unfit to even clean something (see Isa. 64:6).  Man is to seek GOD'S righteousness which is the result of faith:
       Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness.... 
       Romans 10:3 says, "For they being ignorant of GOD'S righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness OF GOD."  
       Philippians 3:8-9 says, "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:  for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is OF GOD BY FAITH.]

SAUL OF TARSUS MET JESUS CHRIST WHILE PERSECUTING HIS BRETHREN!

JESUS ALSO IDENTIFIES HIMSELF WITH CHRISTIANS!

Acts 9:1-6 - And Saul, yet breathing out threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, and desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way (Christians; Christ's disciples - see Jn. 14:6), whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:  and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, Why are you persecuting Me?  And he said, Who are You, Lord?  And the Lord said, I am Jesus Whom You persecute:  it is hard for you to kick against the pricks (it is hard for you to resist the goading of the Holy Spirit as He pricks your conscience - see Jn. 16:8-10).  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what will You have me to do?  And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.

YOU ARE EITHER CHRIST'S DISCIPLE, OR YOU ARE HIS ENEMY!

MAKE UP YOUR MIND; HE IS DUE TO RETURN AT ANY MOMENT!
