No Wolves Allowed

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Matthew 25:32

The Son of Man tells of His glory at the end, and of a separation of goats from sheep. No wolves are mentioned in the prophetic story. Yes, there are tales (pun intended), novels, and movies of how it is better to be the wolf than the sheep. But at this judgment it seems that the sign 'no wolves allowed' has been clearly posted. A person may choose to be a goat or a sheep, but it is the sheep who are welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus then goes on to outline some choices of charity and love. So, are we back to good works for entry into the kingdom of Heaven? Isn't there a way to be saved and then do these good works? Yes, Jesus said He is the way, we had better learn about that tomorrow.

In Christ our Lord,

Bucky
