"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." - Jesus (Matthew 25:34)The one all the nations shall stand before in the great judgment will not be an anonymous being out there, somewhere, but Jesus.
He is the one coming in glory with his angels. He will pronounce who is a "sheep" and who is a "goat". He will open his kingdom for those his Father blessed.
It is a good thing we have opportunity to, first, become his friend!
"What a friend we have in Jesus-fritz
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer"1
