Planning for Parousia No. 1 (Minimal Design) | Orthodox Christian T-Shirt

Make provision for your death, plan for life eternal, make peace with the end of time:

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

- Matthew 25:31-46

The Lord in His mercy has provided for us the visa requirements for our passport to Paradise. To recap:

• Did I feed the hungry?
• Did I give water to the thirsty?
• Did I welcome the stranger?
• Did I clothe the naked?
• Did I minister to the sick?
• Did I visit the imprisoned?

Christ will be and is in every person we either did or did not tend to. And the sacraments of the Orthodox Church prepare us to see Christ in every person we help: in other words, to do all this humbly and without thought of gain or recognition, for Christ's sake. Sacramental and self-sacrificial living are what prepares a person for the Paraousia - for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - and for the Paradise which will follow it.
