| To save fencing costs, a farmer may run both sheep and goats on the same pasture. To a townie like myself, sheep and goats look alike. A shepherd with a good sheepdog can separate the sheep from the goats, and round them up. So will it be at the end, with people. Christ, the good shepherd, will separate the sheep - His followers - from the goats. There will be no mercy for those who rejected Christ's voice.
Matthew chapter 25, verse 32
