The Last Day is not a topic often broached in discourse these days, regardless of the discoursers. The "legacy" that one leaves behind is, though. The oddity of the current situation is that the preparation currently urged for leaving an honorable legacy is similar to the preparation that used to be urged for a successful appearance at the Judgment Seat of Christ. It is as though history has become a convenient secular stand-in for the Ultimate Justice which all men long for.
The irony of the anti-Christian Judgment Day is that it is cruel, merciless, and unforgiving. As is typical of non-Christian thought, there is no room for redemption--which is painfully appropriate in the particular case of Judgment, since it is precisely the Redeemer who has been removed.
Matthew 25 is bleeding heart pandering when compared to the New York Times editorial page.
