Sonnet: Feast Of Christ, The King Poem by Dr John Celes

When Jesus comes enthroned a second time,
With angels, and his face in glory shines,
He comes to judge the living/ dead in prime:
‘Like sheep and goats, the good and bad, He lines.'

The righteous fed Him, hungry when He came;
And quenched His thirst and clothed Him naked when;
Welcoming Him, a stranger, cared when lame;
Visiting Him in jail, consoling then.

But neither they nor men of bad-will knew!
God sees our hearts when deeds we do to next;
The least of things we do come in God's view;
And everything is entered in God's text!

Heaven's for souls who served God by their heart;
Like devils, hell to those who feigned by art.
St.Matthew 25: 31-46 NIV ‘The sheep and the goats'
