Judgment Between Fat Sheep and Lean Sheep

[Minister Monardo]

Ezekiel 34:

17 ‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.

18 Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must

tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture—and to have

drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?

19 And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet,

and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”

20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them:

Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.

21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones

with your horns, and scattered them abroad,

22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey;

and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

Thus showing conclusively that judgment for believers includes how they

treated other believers.

James 2:1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Lord of glory, with partiality.

Hebrews 6:

9 But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes,

things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.

10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which

you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered

to the saints, and do minister.

11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to

the full assurance of hope until the end,

12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who

through faith and patience inherit the promises.

O My flock, thus says the Lord God:

I see it right here sir. There is only one flock.
John 10:16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring,
and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

There are no "good sheep", as there is none good but God. Ezekiel 34 states that the lean sheep were mistreated by the fat sheep resulting in the fat sheep being judged for their actions. My conclusion was clearly stated.

20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them:

Behold, I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.

21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder, butted all the weak ones

with your horns, and scattered them abroad,

22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey;

and I will judge between sheep and sheep.

And all will be judged by Him!

The Unrelieved Quest​

By Oswald Chambers​

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” — John 21:17
This is love in the making: Peter, having confessed how deeply he loves Jesus, is told to add action to emotion and feed God’s sheep. The love of God was not created; love is God’s very nature. When we receive the Holy Spirit, we are united with God so that his love is manifested in us. But this isn’t the end of the story. The ultimate goal is that we may be one with the Father as Jesus is. “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one” (John 17:11). What kind of oneness is this? Such a oneness that the Father’s purpose for the Son becomes the Son’s purpose for us: “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (20:21).
After Peter recognized the depth of his love for Jesus, Jesus made his point: Spend it. Don’t declare how much you love me. Don’t testify about the marvelous revelation you’ve had. “Feed my sheep.” This is a challenging request, because Jesus has some extraordinarily funny sheep! Bedraggled, dirty sheep; awkward, headbutting sheep; sheep that have gone astray (Luke 15:3–7). God’s love pays no attention to such quirks and differences. If I love my Lord, I have no business being guided by personal preference. I simply have to feed his sheep. There is no relief and no release from this part of the call.
Beware of letting your natural human sympathy decide which sheep you’ll feed. You are called to spend God’s love, not pass off a counterfeit version of it. That would end in blaspheming the love of God.
