A Shepherd Separates - Matthew 25:32-33

Matthew 25:32-33 ESV 
" 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."

John 21:5-6
" Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish."

We are on one side or the other of the boat, the ark of salvation, a sheep or goat. The sheep, the fish of the sea that are drawn to the net are those that respond to the word. They are found on the right side. 

There is no middle ground.
