Gospel

so

strikingly

declares

.

For

what

says

Matthew

the

evangelist

,

or

rather

the

Lord

Himself

,

in

the

Gospel

?

“

When

the

Son

of

man

shall

come

in

His

glory

,

and

all

the

holy

angels

with

Him

,

then

shall

He

sit

upon

the

throne

of

His

glory

:

and

before

Him

shall

be

gathered

all

nations

;

and

He

shall

separate

them

one

from

another

,

as

a

shepherd

divideth

his

sheep

from

the

goats

:

and

He

shall

set

the

sheep

on

His

right

hand

,

but

the

goats

on

the

left

.

Then

shall

the

King

say

unto

them

on

His

right

hand

,

Come

,

ye

blessed

of

my

Father

,

inherit

the

kingdom

prepared

for

you

from

the

foundation

of

the

world

.

”

Come

,

ye

prophets

,

who

were

cast

out

for

my

name’s

sake

.

Come

,

ye

patriarchs

,

who

before

my

advent

were

obedient

to

me

,

and

longed

for

my

kingdom

.

Come

,

ye

apostles

,

who

were

my

fellows

in

my

sufferings

in

my

incarnation

,

and

suffered

with

me

in

the

Gospel

.

Come

,

ye

martyrs

,

who

confessed

me

before

despots

,

and

endured

many

torments

and

pains

.

Come

,

ye

hierarchs

,

who

did

me

sacred

service

blamelessly

day

and

night

,

and

made

the

oblation

of

my

honourable

body

and

blood

daily

.
