life after death

• Jesus talks about what will happen at the end of time in parables, including the Sheep and Goats
• Jesus tells his followers that all of humanity will be judged on the way they treat others.
• Those who have lived good

  lives and follow his teachings will be rewarded

  with eternal life,


  those who commit sins

  and turn their back on God and others will receive

  eternal punishment:
• “When the Son of Man comes as King... he will divide them into two groups, just

  as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the righteous

  people at his right and the others at his left”
• In this parable Jesus is highlighting the fact that it is up to each individual how

  they live their life and where they end up after death. Jesus will judge people’s

  behaviour and they will be punished not only for sinning but also for failing to do

  good.
• The path to hell, however, is wide and easy to travel, so more people follow it:

  “Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to Hell is wide and the road

  that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. But the gate to life is

  narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find

  it.”
