Christ the King.

  

When Christ comes on the clouds in all of His glory surrounded by His angels 

He will not ask us to recite the Creed or the Catechism. 

Or if we can quote Scripture by chapter and verse. 

Rather He is going to judge us by how we treated one another. Mt. 25:31-46

Because what we do to one another we do to Christ. 

Mary sat at His feet and listened to Him when He talked. 

Martha fixed Him a meal when He was hungry. 

Veronica wiped his bloody face. 

Joseph of Arimathea laid Him in a tomb when He died. 

The Wise Men brought Him gifts when there was no room at the Inn. 

Pilate however judged Him. 

The Pharisees rejected Him. 

Others just walked away too busy to listen. 

While still others claimed to care but when Jesus needed them most they denied they ever knew Him. 

Jesus stands in front of us everyday. 

In our family and friends. 

In those we meet on the street. 

Do we ever say things to other people we would never say to Jesus?

Do we treat people differently than we would treat Jesus?

Do we act one way in church and another way on the street?

Jesus is not Santa, but He is keeping a list!

A list of how treated others. 

For how we treat each other is how we treat Christ!

In other words, Our Eternal life depends on how we treat one another   

For how we treat one another is in the end how we treated Christ!
