This passage envisions the day when Jesus' disciples have taken the Good News to all the nations (Matthew 28:18-20, 24:14), and he returns to judge the world. He will come in great glory! He will reign on his throne, and everyone will acknowledge him as Lord and King. Jesus himself will judge everyone just like a shepherd does at the end of the day: The sheep get favorable treatment over the goats.
For me, the essential things to hang onto in this passage are the promise of Jesus' victory and his followers shared victory with him. He will come in glory, and they will share in his glory! Jesus is coming. He is coming in power. He is coming to rule and to judge. He will be declared and worshiped as King. Am I living with him as my King right now?
What Jesus Did! is a series of one-year devotional guides through each gospel, using one short scripture passage each day and following the Gospel in sequential order. Each devotional consists of a scripture passage and a reflection and a prayer which open up the day's scripture and show how it challenges you to live for Jesus.
