Essay: The impact that cultural and social location has on individuals is complex. People’s life experiences shape how they interpret Scripture, including the Gospel of Matthew. For example, someone who has experienced discrimination or deep hurt from others may see Jesus as a source of comfort because He stands with the oppressed. On the other hand, someone who is wealthy and financially stable might focus more on Jesus' teachings about humility and generosity. These different perspectives influence how we understand the Gospel of Matthew and the Bible as a whole. For me personally, growing up in the church has shaped my beliefs, but I often choose not to share them in debates or public settings because of the conflict that can arise over religious discussions. However, Jesus provides guidance on how to handle conflict and anger. His teachings show us how to live as His followers with love and wisdom. For example, in Matthew 25, the story of the Final Judgment emphasizes that we are all equal in God’s eyes, regardless of our social or economic status. Jesus teaches that serving others is the same as serving Him. It does not matter how much money we give or how many good deeds we perform—what matters is our heart and our willingness to care for others. Jesus’ message is that He loves and cares for everyone, including those who are still finding their faith. However, He also makes it clear that those who follow Him will inherit the Kingdom of God, while those who reject Him will face eternal separation. In this passage, Jesus separates people into two groups: the sheep, who serve and follow Him, and the goats, who ignore His teachings.
