Mr. Lamb, I want to
congratulate you! Every assignment given to you, you passed with
flying colors.
Mr. Lamb: [somewhat
confused] Uh, Sir what assignments? As far as I can tell I have just
operated business as usual.
Christ:
No, it is
clearly stated here, “When you saw me hungry and thirsty you fed me
and gave me something to drink.”
[Now really confused.]
Mr. Lamb: Sir, How
could that be? You have been at the Home office for years and I have
not left this regional office once.
[Mr. Kidd interrupts]
Mr. Kidd: You know I’m
kind of hungry my self………[looking to Christ] How about you sir?
After the meeting we do lunch. I’ll buy.
[Christ simply looks at Mr.
Kidd as if to say “Sit down Mr. Kidd.”]
Christ: [Turning back
to Mr. Lamb] Mr. Lamb my records indicate that you faithfully
participated in the annual food drive here at Regional. Is that not
so?
Mr. Lamb: Well yes,
but……
Christ: In addition,
it has become your habit to invite out of town visitors to our
regional office often putting them up in your own home. Is this true?
Mr. Kidd: [under his
breath] I told you’d get burned for that one.
Mr. Lamb: Well, yes,
Sir. But the Home office directive clearly indicated that we were to
extend courtesy to visitors.
Christ: That is
correct [turning abruptly to Mr. K] Mr. Kidd, You on the other hand
saw me in need of clothing and ignored this fact.
Mr. Kidd: Now wait a
minute, I protest Sir. Just like Mr. Lamb here, I haven’t left the
regional office for years. Besides how in the world can you expect me
to know what size you wear?
Christ: Is it not also
true Mr. Kidd that despite the fact that you knew that I was sick you
never bothered to visit me? Mr. Kidd with the exception of mandatory
weekly corporate meetings and the occasional seminar you have not
completed one assignment I have given you.
Mr. Kidd: Where is the
memo? I never received any clear directive indicating that these were
MY assignments.
Christ: During the
weekly Corporate meetings both of you [looking at one then the other]
were told to expect surprise assignments. Situations for which, had
you read your employee manual, [Looking at Mr. Kidd] you would have
been prepared.
[Turning to Mr. Lamb]
Mr. Lamb, as I said when you
first entered my office, you have done well. Because of your
willingness to take initiative and act on the Policy established by
our CEO you have earned a well deserved promotion. I am happy to tell
you that you are moving to the Home office. Your benefits packet
includes a clear deed to a new home, paid for personally by me, a new
title of vice president, and the best health plan ever given to any
employee. [Standing up to shake Mr. Lamb’s hand] Well done, Sir!
Well done.
[Turning to Mr. Kidd]
Christ: Mr. Kidd, your
total disregard for our mission is a disgrace! Mr. Kidd, You are
fired!
Narrator: “But when
the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then
will He sit on His glorious throne. And all the nations will be
gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as
the shepherd separated the sheep from the goats; and He will put the
sheep on His right, and the goats on the left. {pause} “………….Come,
you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you…………”
“………Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one
of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.”
Matthew 25:31-34 & 40
