WHEN THE KING SITS ON HIS GLORIOUS THRONE
Matthew 25:1-46
Key verse 31-32
To what did Jesus compare his kingdom and coming (1)? How did ten virgins show their wisdom or foolishness (2-5)? What might the oil represent (6-12)? For what should we prepare, and how (13; 24:42)?
What did a man give to three of his servants and why (14-15)? What did the first two servants do (16-17,19)? When the master returned, what did they report (20,22)? How did he praise and reward them (21,23)?
What had the third servant done, and what reasons did he give (18,24-25)? How did the master rebuke and punish him, and why (26-30)? What should be our labor and attitude as we wait for King Jesus’ return?
Read verses 31-32. What will the King do concerning all nations when he comes again in glory? How will he reward the “sheep” people, and for what reasons (34-36)? Why were they surprised (37-39)? Who are the “least of these brothers and sisters of mine” (40)?
How did the King rebuke and punish the “goat” people (41-43)? Why were they also surprised, and what would happen to them (44-46)? In view of his coming in glory and this entire chapter, what does Jesus want his people to know and do until he returns?
