Children's Bible Stories-Parable the Sheep and Goats.

In Matthew chapter 25, a parable is told about the coming of the Son of man and holy angels. The King will gather all nations, dividing them like a shepherd divides his sheep from his goats. The righteous will inherit the kingdom prepared for them, but the wicked will be cursed into everlasting fire. The parable is a comparison between the sheep and the goats. The sheep are saved during the tribulation, blessed by the Holy Ghost and given an inheritance. They are treated with kindness and service, as if they were serving Christ Himself. The goats, on the other hand, are cursed with eternal hell-fire and prepared for Satan and his angels. The righteous will go away into eternal punishment, while the wicked will go into life eternal. The parable highlights the importance of a relationship with the Shepherd and the consequences of not doing so
