Father Judges No Man

(1/3) > >>

hillsbororiver:
As I was studying some things in the Gospel of John I ran across this bit of scripture;

Joh 5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

This is one of those verses I must of read hundreds of times but just flew over my head, why doesn't the Father judge any man? Yes, because it was commissioned to the Son, but why did God the Father give this commission to Christ rather than do it Himself?

Which brought back to memory a verse that has caused more than a few some confusion;

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Christ lived as a man, was tempted like any/every man and dealt with the pain, suffering and lonliness that comes to everyone at some point in their life. Who better to judge others than one who has gone through the same experiences?

Heb 4:15  For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Even though Christ never succumbed to temptations He did agonize over some of the circumstances the Father caused Him to endure, and through this "hands on" training  our heavenly Father taught our Lord a life lesson in obedience (which by the way He passed with flying colors, AMEN!) giving us an empathetic Savior more than worthy of His Glory, a Savior who not only knows what we are going through but also felt what we are going through.

Heb 2:18  For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor997 them that are tempted.

G997
βοηθέω
boētheō
bo-ay-theh'-o
From G998; to aid or relieve: - help, succour.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Beautiful observations Joe.

It reminds me that Jesus was sent an Angel to strengthen Him when He suffered in Gethsemane but we have much more than an Angel. We have HIM, to aid, relieve and help us. What a wonder is that!

We have so much to be thankful to Father for.

Peace be to you Brother

Hi Joe,

While i know that all things are given to the Son, And that Christ is the only way in which the Father is revealed to us, I'll admit the judgments are still a bit confusing, atleast for me.

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. [John 12:47]

Much of the scriptures point out , it is only through judgment, that the world can be saved.

Hi Chris,

Interesting point, perhaps it was not yet time for Christ to judge but to teach and serve.

2Ti 4:1  I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

Rev 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Peace,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Just to add, we've talked several times about how God would never expect us to go through anything that He wouldn't go through himself.

1 Corinthians 6:3 (KJV)

 3) Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

But remember that whenever the scriptures refer to Christ, it refers to us. So, will the Son not do everything that we've been appointed to also?
