Jesus Christ is the Judge of All ~ Nov 16th 2022 (RHAPSODY OF REALITIES EP.)

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES *WEDNESDAY 16 NOVEMBER 2022* PASTOR CHRIS *TOPIC:* *JESUS CHRIST IS THE JUDGE OF ALL* *KEY VERSE:* _*…he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness… (Acts 17:31).*_ *MESSAGE* The verse above says Jesus will judge the world in righteousness. He is the judge. The Father judges no man; He committed all judgement to Jesus: _*“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son”*_ (John 5:22). Also, in Acts 10:42 NIV, we see that Jesus was appointed by God to be the judge of all men. A similar thought is communicated by the Spirit in 2 Timothy 4:1 NIV through the Apostle Paul: “In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge.” The Judgement Seat of Christ is described in 2 Corinthians 5:10: _*“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”*_ The Judgement Seat of Christ is the judgement of God’s people—Christians— where we each receive our rewards from the Master. Everyone will be praised (1 Corinthians 4:5). At His return to the earth, Jesus will judge all nations: _*“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats”*_ (Matthew 25:31-32). Then, in Revelation 20, we find Jesus executing the most terrifying of all judgements, which are reserved for sinners. It’s called The Great White Throne Judgement: _*“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them”*_ (Revelation 20:11). These judgements aren’t far away. Therefore, serve the Lord truly and live for Him every day as we await His so
