Scripture Union Daily Guide 12 September 2025 Outline
Following yesterday’s master-servants parable, Jesus now tells what the reality is going to be at the end of time. Everyone will stand before Him (Matthew 25:32) and each person will be placed in his or her rightful place by the all-knowing and all-seeing Lord and Master. What, according to the passage, are the criteria the Lord will use to separate the people? What truth is God revealing to us in this passage? God told Israel what kind of fast was acceptable to Him (Isaiah 58:6-7). Compare this with the words of the King (Jesus) in Matthew 25:34-36,41-43.
God is interested not only in our vertical relationship with Him but also our horizontal relationship with others (see 1 John 4:20). It should be noted that eternal reward is not just based on our salvation. Indeed, we are called to show unconditional love to all people by responding to their needs irrespective of who they are. Our good works should stem from our salvation experience and genuine love for God and people who are made in God’s image and for whom Christ shed His blood. Mere demonstration of love for the needy is not the criterion for salvation (see Ephesians 2:8-10). Your response to the Gospel will determine where you will be in eternity but as James warns us, faith without deeds (work) is dead (James 2:17).
