Goat

All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. (Matthew 25:32-33, New Living Translation) 

Grace, glory, gift, gospel – so many great words which begin with the letter G. And yet, here I picked the word goat.

In the above verse, Jesus was saying that the sheep were the compassionate people, those willing to help out a stranger. Meanwhile the goat refused to help anyone out, except themselves. God would bless the sheep and curse the goats.

Want an example of how those sheep helped others and how the goats ignored them? Check back tomorrow.
