Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,For the Father judges no one, but he has given all judgment to the Son,For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son;

… I don't have what it takes to judge you. Even the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son. When you judge other people without mercy, not whether or not what they're doing is right or wrong, But when you judge them in a condemning way, in an unmerciful way, what you're doing is usurping the rights and the proactives of the Lord Jesus Christ. And what you're also doing is you are acting like the devil. The Bible tells us that it is the devil who is the accuser of the brethren. Don't go around judging other people, condemning other people, examining their motive. There is no one big enough, no one just enough, no one loving enough to judge us but God himself. And surely the judge of all heaven and earth will do right. Now why is it that we tend to have this merciless judgment? Why is it that we tend to be intolerable when we ought to tolerate other people lovingly? …
… to pass that kind of judgment. Jesus said in John chapter 5 and verse 22, the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. The same Jesus Christ who wants to be your Savior will one day be your judge, but all judgment belongs to him. That is to condemn. And if you try to condemn another human being, what you do is to usurp God's authority. God has not appointed you to be the prosecuting attorney. As a matter of fact, the devil himself is the accuser, and when you do it, you're acting just like the devil. The apostle Paul, with that great mind of his, asked this question in Romans chapter 8 and verse 33. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Jesus Christ is the only one big enough, wise enough, strong enough, good enough, loving enough, all-knowing enough to redeem or to condemn. …
… that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. And most assuredly I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. And most assuredly I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Let me stop at that point, because given that this is Communion Sunday, I'm going to be hard-pressed to cover even this number of verses in our meditation today. But what we have heard, I pray that you have ears to hear. Let us pray. …
