shall come in his glory angels
with him, then shall he sit
upon the throne of his glory
32) And before him shall be
gathered all nations; and he
shall separate them one from
another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the
goats
33) And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but
the goats on the left

THE FOUNDATION OF THE
EARTH

unto them on his right hand,
come, ye blessed of my
FATHER, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the
foundation of the world
35) For I was an hungered
and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink,
I was a stranger, and ye took
me in
36)Naked and ye clothed me
I was sick, and ye visited me;
I was in prison, and ye came
unto me
THE RIGHTEOUS
DISTRIBUTION TO THE POOR
AND NEEDY
37) Then shall the righteous
answer him, saying, LORD,
when saw we thee an
hungered, and fed thee? Or
thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38)When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in?
or naked, and clothed thee?
39) Or when saw we sick, or
in prison, and came unto
thee?
GIVING TO THE POOR THAT
LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE
40) And the king shall
answer and say unto them,
verily I say unto you,
inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it
unto me
41) Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand
Depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his
angels
42)For I was an hungered,
and ye gave me no meat; I
was thirsty and ye gave me
no drink
43)i was a stranger and ye
took me not in; naked, and
ye clothed me not; sick, and
in prison, and ye visited me
not
44)Then shall they also
answer him, saying, LORD,
when saw we thee an
hungered or thirsty or prison
and did not minister unto
thee?
45)Then shall he answer
them, saying, Verily I say
unto you, inasmuch as ye did
it not to one of the least of
these, ye did it not to me
46) And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment;
but the righteous into life
eternal

LUKE 18:20-22
DO YOU NEED TO BE
PERFECT:?
Go, sell those great
possessions which I know
you love so dearly, before
GOD and give all to the poor
and have treasure in heaven
|
20) thou knowest the
commandments, do not
commit adultery, do not kill,
do not steal, do not bear
fasle witness, Honor thy
Father and thy Mother
21) And he said, all these
have I kept from my youth up
HAVING TREASURE IN
HEAVEN
22) Now when JESUS heard
these things, he said on to
him yet lackest thou one
thing; sell all that thou hast,
and distribute unto the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven; and come, follow
me.

THE MAN REFUSE TO HELP
THE RAVAGING WORLD OF
POVERTY:
He was not perfect in the
dealing of person, not to the
eyes of GOD, he was not
giving to help the needs of
the world and it is what will
keep him out of heaven
GIVE TO THE STARVING
WORLD
The world is full of little
children, men and women
who are starving and
diseased, without shelter or
clothing
GIVE ALL YOU HAVE TO THE
POOR AND YOU SHALL HAVE
TREASURES IN HEAVEN
We have to affect the world
by helping the desperate
million of the earth.

JESUS CHRIST FORCEFUL
COMMISSION:

three, thinkest thou, was
neighbor unto him that fell
among the thieves?

THE SAMARITAN WITH
GODLY COMPASSION

as he journeyed, came where
he was; and when he saw
him, he had compassion on
him
34) And went to him, and
bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine, and
set him on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him
35) And on the morrow
when he departed, he took
out two pence, and gave
them to the host, and said
unto him, take care of him;
and whatsoever thou
spendest more, when I come
again, I will repay thee
36) Which now of these
three, thinkest thou, was
neighbor unto him that fell
among the thieves?
37) And he said, he that
showed mercy on him the
said JESUS unto him, go, and
do thou likewise

THE GOOD SAMARITAN
*The good Samaritan placed
compassion before
everything; i.e. that is before
money opinion, work, energy
church rituals
*The good Samaritan gave
his heart, his compassion his
all to help a desperate man
The good Samaritan has a
sense of common humanity
*The good Samaritan gave
up his work, time, energy and
money to help the man
THE MOVE OF COMPASSION
BY THE SAMARITAN
Ø He went to him
reached out
personally to help
Ø He bandaged up his
wounds; eased his
pains
Ø He poured oil and
wine into his wound:
gave of his own goods
Ø He set him on his
own donkey: sacrifice
his own comfort
Ø He took care of him:
nursed, looked after
him personally

LUKE 12:19-21
THE RICH FOOL
The man who trusted in his
riches is a fool in the sight of
GOD
*Is the one who lay up
treasure for himself
Acquires riches for his own
use- for himself, which is
characterized with
covetousness
Live for himself Here on
earth, building houses
Cars, fame, position
AND NOT RICH TOWARDS
GOD
*Has no inheritance in the
kingdom of GOD- no riches
laid up in heaven?
His affection is fixed on this
world, and none for GOD
*He make no use of his
earthly substance to be the
good of others nor show any
concern and compassion for
the poor, but places all hope,
trust and confidence in
uncertain riches
*Caring for no man but for
himself, and making sure to
trust in himself
|
19) And I will say to my soul
Soul, thou hast much goods
laid, eat, drink, and be merry
20) But GOD said unto him
thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee;
then who’s shall those things
be which thou hast provided?
RICH TOWARDS GOD
21)So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is
not rich towards GOD
|
SO IS HE THAT LAYETH UP
TREASURE FOR HIMSELF
THE BIG SIN OF THE WORLD
POSSESSION
The big sin of greed or
covetousness.
The greedy man is self
centered thinks of himself, a
craving and desire for more
Craving for material things,
Desire what belongs to
others

them which do good to you,

sinners also do even the
same

whom ye hope to receive,
what thank have ye? For
sinners also lend to sinners,
to receive as much again
35) But love ye your
enemies, and do good, and
lend hoping for nothing
again: and your reward shall
be great, and ye shall be the
children of the highest; for he
is kind unto the unthankful
and to the evil
36)Be ye therefore merciful
as your FATHER also is
merciful.
|
ACTUAL DEED OF KINDNESS
And if ye do good to them
which do good to you
*What thanks have ye- what
grace or goodness is there in
such action? What glory or
merit is there in it?
THE LAW OF USEFUL
KINDNESS
And do good and lend, not
to your friend only but your
enemies
Hoping for nothing again and
your reward shall be great:
GOD will bless in your
worldly substance here, and
life to come.

compensed be made thee
13) But, when thou makest a

resurrection of the just.
