Introduction
We continue today with one of the most breathtaking phrases in all of Scripture. If last time we stood in awe before the throne, witnessing the gathering of nations and the great separation, today we get to hear the words every soul hopes to hear:
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father.”
Here is Our Scripture for Today: Matthew 25: 34-36
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Notice what Jesus doesn’t say:
He doesn’t say, “Come, you who got everything right.”
He doesn’t say, “Come, you who never failed.”
He doesn’t say, “Come, you who were important.”
He says:
Come, you blessed. Come receive the Kingdom.
