INTRO: We have come to the very last parable the Lord Jesus ever gave. It is the parable of the âSheep and Goatâ judgment. This is the second longest parable Jesus gave. Only the parable of the prodigal son is longer than this one, so we have a very important parable. Go to Matthew 24 (read 1-3). I have mentioned to you that the disciples asked three questions of Jesus in verse 3. First, âTell us, when will these things beâŠâ I mentioned to you that the âthese thingsâ do not refer to verses 1-2, but to the things Jesus told them about as they went from the temple to the Mount of Olives. They would have descended down the slopes of the temple mount, through the valley of the Kidron, and up the slopes of the Mount of Olives and on into the Garden of Gethsemane. This is where Judas found Jesus when he came with the band of soldiers.
And as I understand this Olivet Discourse, Jesus answers their first question in 24:4-31. Here is a whole listing of the âthese thingsâ the disciples asked about and they end at the second coming of Christ.
