The key to understanding the judgement scene in Matthew 25:31-46 lies in the response of each group. As the Son of Man separates the sheep from the goats, he reveals what each unknowingly does or does not do. Both groups respond, “When did we do that!?” The sheep naturally and effortlessly respond to the needs of those around them while the goats naturally and effortlessly ignore them. Left to my own devices, I naturally and effortlessly ignore the needs of those around me. Gradually, however, I am becoming a different kind of person. Not by muscling up and trying harder, but by daily surrendering to the easy yoke of Jesus’ way of living (Matthew 11:28-30).
