People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 25:34
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand. The King is
Christ. This is the only time, save in parabolic language, that he
applies the title to himself, though he speaks of his kingdom and
declares he came into the world to be a king. At judgment his kingly
majesty will be acknowledged by all the universe.
Come, ye blessed of my Father. Observe that his invitation on earth
to mortals is to "come": "Come ye to the waters and drink" (Isaiah 55:1);
"Let him that is athirst come and partake of the waters of life freely"
(Revelation 22:17). To all who have heeded his earthly invitation he gives
a heavenly invitation.
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you. The blessed are now to
enter on an inheritance. On earth they were heirs and joint-heirs with
Christ.
