Haiku for ruminants
Matthew delivers
a final kingdom image:
sheep, goats and judgement.
The sheep receive praise,
commendation for their acts
of love and service.
Hungry or thirsty,
naked, stranger, in prison;
so many need help!
So much injustice,
while those who pretend to care
only want power.
As you act with love
to the least of my fam’ly
you show love to me.
On the other hand,
the goats stand condemned, having
failed to practise love.
Jesus, Son of Man,
measures kingdom credentials
by love and service.
