		<description><![CDATA[I know I have already poured far too many words about Matthew 25 into cyberspace. But  I want to make one last attempt to articulate what I think is going on in this chapter of Matthew&#8217;s Gospel. A parable is not a symbol system. It is a story created to make one essential point.

		<description><![CDATA[Many interpretations of the parable of &#8220;The Sheep and the Goats&#8221; emphasize the separation at the end of the parable. But if we focus on the element of surprise that characterizes both the sheep and the goats&#8217; response to the king, the parable carries a different tone. In this parable Jesus is challenging his followers [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=inaspaciousplace.wordpress.com&#038;blog=12939873&#038;post=10420&#038;subd=inaspaciousplace&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
