This teaching explores Jesus’ sobering words about the final judgment, where He separates the nations like a shepherd separates sheep from goats. The defining mark of the righteous is not wealth, knowledge, or status, but their willingness to serve “the least of these.” Jesus identifies Himself with the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned—showing that how we treat the vulnerable is, in fact, how we treat Him.
