When the bewildered sheep asked Jesus how they had ministered to Him when He was hungry or in prison, He told them that as they had ministered to the least of their spiritual siblings in love, they had ministered to Him. Our final judgment is based upon how we helped our brother. Sadly, because of our deep-seated carnal natures, we have many goat-like tendencies, leading us to do it our own way, independently. Like stubborn billy goats, we are all short on makro-thumio (or longsuffering) To develop God's nature (James 1:20; Psalm 86:14-1; Exodus 34:6) we must be long suffering regarding circumstances and people. We must develop the patience of a farmer (James 5: 7-10). We need to be disgusted with our goat-like tendencies, asking God to change our heart to be less impatience (Romans 2:4; I Timothy 1:14-16; I Peter 1:3), increasing in knowledge of God, in patience, long suffering, and joy, developing meekness and longsuffering (Colossians 3:12-14).
