What does Matthew 25:31 mean?
Jesus is describing a moment of ultimate return and judgment, when he comes back to earth with all his heavenly messengers and takes his rightful place as king over all creation. The image speaks to both his power and his authority, showing that this won't be a quiet or hidden arrival but a visible, undeniable event. This verse introduces the culmination of Matthew's teaching about the end times, reminding us that there's a final accounting coming, which brings both comfort to those who trust Jesus and weight to how we live now. It's meant to stir both hope and accountability in those who hear it.
