Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:" — Matthew 25:41 (ASV)
Every word in the King’s sentence upon those on His left hand will strike terror into their hearts. Depart from me: to be banished from Christ’s presence is hell. Ye cursed. They could not plead that they had either kept the Law or obeyed the Gospel. They were indeed doubly cursed. They were commanded to depart into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. They had joined the devil in refusing allegiance to the Lord, so it was only right that, imitating his rebellion, they should share his punishment.
