Mat 25:34 | PNT | STEP | 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" ( ); "Let him that is athirst come and partake of the waters of life freely" ( ). 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.

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" (Isa 55:1); "Let him that is athirst come and partake of the waters of life freely" (Re 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.
