    Does the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats Teach Salvation by Works? -Matthew 25:31-46

    Matthew 25:31-46 Judgment of the Sheep and the Goats (1975) Zane C. Hodges Are the sheep in this parable saved because of the works? Are the goats destined for hell, because of their lack of good works? Is "inheriting a kingdom" the same as "entering a kingdom"? What time period does this parable refer to, the rapture or the end of the tribulation? In this motivating message Zane Hodges answers these questions and how this parable can apply to our lives. Matthew 25:31-46 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Other passages discussed include: Revelation 14:9-11 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Revelation 19:19 Psalm 2 1 Thessalonians 4 Revelation 20:12

    What Happens to Christians in the Outer Darkness? - Matt 25:14-30 - Parable of the Talents - Zane Hodges

    Matthew 25:14-30 Parable of the Talents (1975) Zane C. Hodges Our Lord has committed to each Christian, responsibility in line with the capacity that He knows that each Christian's possesses and in accordance with His knowledge of what each Christian is able to do for Him by His grace. There is a day of reckoning for every Christian, not to determine our eternal destiny, but to evaluate the kind of life and service that each Christian has lived here on earth. Faithful Christians may be commended, promoted and invited to share in their Lord's joy in the kingdom to come. Unfaithful Christians are figuratively relegated to the outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Other passage mentioned include 2 Corinthians 5:10. #outerdarkness #parableofthetalents

    Matthew 25:1-13 - Parable of the Wise and the Foolish Virgins

    Matthew 25:1-13 Parable of the Ten (Wise and the Foolish Virgins) (September 10, 1975) Zane C. Hodges In this parable of the five wise virgins and the five foolish virgins, Zane Hodges explains what period of time does this parable apply to, the Tribulation period or the present day. Although the parable applies to the saints of the Tribulation period, Zane demonstrates how those lessons are applicable to us in the church age today, and how we need to be watchful and have reserves of spiritual oil as we await the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to rapture us believers in Jesus Christ for the free gift of everlasting life to be with Him forever. How do we have a spiritual reserve? Other passages discussed include: Revelation 14:1-5 Matthew 24:6-8, 12-13, 15-22 Proverbs 24:10 #tribulation #endtimes #rapture

    Matthew 24:45-51 - What Happens If I Am an Unfaithful Servant of Jesus?

    Matthew 24:45-51 Parable of the Unfaithful Servant (1975) Zane C. Hodges Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his house? There is no greater incentive to faithful living then the realization that our Lord Jesus Christ may come back at any time. When that realization is lost, very much else may be lost also. What is the outer darkness in this parable? Can Christians experience weeping and gnashing of teeth for lives of unfaithfulness to Jesus Christ? www.ZaneHodges.org #eternalrewards #discipleship #disciple #outerdarkness

    Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3:1-6,10-14 - Preparation for Comfort

    Preparation for Comfort Zane C. Hodges (1980) Isaiah 40:1-5 and Luke 3:1-6, 10-14 "Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God." What do you really know about the comfort of God? Do you understand God's comfort in your own life and are you able to share it with other people? Our hearts and lives are not ready for the blessings with which God desires to comfort us until we know something about comforting other people in their need. When God's people pursue equity, honesty and kindness, then God's glory can be seen in the midst of His people and other men will also see it there. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that God is looking for geniuses, orators or superstars, but what God is really looking for are people who have a genuine concern for the needs of other people, who are scrupulously honest, and who really know something about the art of kindness and consideration and gentleness towards all. When God finds an individual like that, He can build the kind of life which can be filled with the blessings and mercies of God, which are the only true comfort of the human heart. God is always eager to comfort His people if we are prepared to receive it. Other passages mentioned include: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, James 1:27, 1 John 3:17, Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 5:7, Philippians 4:5 and John 13:35.

    Luke 16:19-31 - Pleasure Has an Exit Door Marked Death -

    Luke 16:19-31 Pleasure Has an Exit Door Marked Death Zane C. Hodges (1993) What is the most potent, the most addictive, the most intoxicating, and the most dangerous drug known to man? Pleasure. The purpose of the story of the rich man and Lazarus is not to explain why Lazarus and the rich man are where they are, but to show that these two men have traded places. Those who never believe in Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal life will one day find that their days of pleasure will come to an end. The Word of God is more valuable than a whole lifetime filled with pleasure. The only really stable and solid thing in this world is the Word of God. Other passages: 2 Cor 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; Luke 24:13, 25-27.
