RCL Reflection, Reign of Christ Sunday, Year A, November 22, 2020
We can draw many preaching points from the from the dramatic parable of the sheep and goats. One is that we have been grafted into God’s family, and by the gift of the Holy Spirit we are equipped to do kingdom work here and now. Let us enter into each day with gratitude and attention. We may never know when we will serve Jesus in the form of one of the “least of these.”

Just who is this King of Everything, this strange leader? Who is this Jesus hanging out in the least, the lost, the poor, and the imprisoned? How were we supposed to know to look for God in the dark and dirty places of the world? We are trained to look for the winners, not the losers in life. Jesus presents an alternative vision for us.

Is it really a case of “Team Goat” vs. “Team Sheep” and winners and losers of eternal proportions? Maybe Jesus’ point with this story is something quite different. After all, he is the King of Everything! (Photo: Jirka Matousek, Creative Commons. Thanks!)
