The Final Judgment

Since explaining the timing of His return and the end of the age, Jesus has spoken several parables to urge His disciples to be ready.  But what preparations should we be making?  If we've been entrusted with other servants, we're supposed to lead them well and give them their food at the proper time.  We need to be careful to be wise and bring enough oil to wait until the return of Christ.  We need to make more "money" with the "money" we've been giving.  But what does it all mean?  What should we be doing?  We finish off this chapter with not a parable, but a preview of the final judgment, and within it, we discover the kinds of things Jesus wants us to be doing.  From Matthew 25:31-46.
