The Sheep and Goats

• Like with many other parables of Jesus, in this parable He teaches what will happen at the end of time. All of humanity shall be judged on the way they have lived and how they have acted. The parable gives a picture of how humans will be divided at the Final Judgement.
• Jesus's parables on life and death explain: it's up to each individual where they end up after death; it is up to each individual how they live their life; whether they follow the will of God will determine where eternity is spent.
