The first time I ever heard the term curriculum vitae, I was a youth delegate at our Anglican diocesan synod helping to choose our next bishop. We looked at the CV's of many different candidates, each one describing in detail their experience, their education, their skills, as well as their other qualifications. There were many factors that needed to be considered when choosing the next head pastor of an entire diocese.
In today's lesson, God is considering the CV's of the entire human race, as it were, at the final judgment. There were not many factors that went into his decision, however. His main concern was this: How did you treat the destitute among you? "Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me" (v. 40).
