YouTube description
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats is commonly understood as a story about how people will be judged on the Day of Judgment based on whether they helped the poor, the resident alien, and outcasts. This is a misunderstanding of the parable, understood in the context of Matthew's Gospel. It is really about how Jesus on the Day of Judgment will judge the nations based on their positive or negative reception of Christian missionaries.
