… in Himself. And He gave Him authority to execute judgment because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear hear His voice, all, and will come forth, those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment." Mark it. Everybody is going to be raised from the dead. Everybody. Everybody who's ever lived and died. And the Lord will have no problem sorting out that individual from the completely disintegrated and dissolved parts to bring back to life that same person in an eternal form. Some kind of body, a body suited for service and worship in heaven. For the unbelievers, it's a body suited for suffering and punishment in hell. But everybody will be raised from the dead, everybody. Don't marvel at this. And why does he say that? Because this is shocking. This is shocking. Now there are two aspects to resurrection that our Lord is referring to. …
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. Father, now as we turn our attention to this text that is indeed astounding in its content, we pray that You would give us real understanding of it, that we may be moved to the proper response to Christ and to the Father that it demands. For we ask these things in the name of Jesus. Amen. Last week we saw that after Jesus healed the paralytic, that the leaders of the Jews were furious because the man had carried his bed at the instruction of Jesus on the Sabbath day. And I mentioned that last week we saw John beginning to introduce us to this deepening hostility of the leaders of the nation toward Christ as they set their minds toward His execution. And so we pick it up this morning at verse 16 where we read, for this reason, for those things that we looked at last week, the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill Him because He had done these things on the Sabbath. …
Here naturally arises an inquiry, Why is Christ appointed to judge the world rather than the Father or the Holy Ghost? We cannot pretend to know all the reasons of the divine dispensations. God is not obliged to give us an account of them. But so much may we learn by divine revelation, as to discover marvellous wisdom in what he determines and orders with respect to this matter. We learn, 1. That God seeth fit, that he who is in the human nature, should be the judge of those who are of the human nature:John v. 27. “And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.” Seeing there is one of the persons of the Trinity united to the human nature, God chooses, in all his transactions with mankind, to transact by him. He did so of old, in his discoveries of himself to the patriarchs, in giving the law, in leading the children of Israel through the wilderness, and in the manifestations he made of himself in the tabernacle and temple: when, although Christ was not actually incarnate, yet he was so in design, it was ordained and agreed in the covenant of redemption, that he should become incarnate. And since the incarnation of Christ, God governs both the church and the world by Christ. So he will also at the end judge the world by him. All men shall be judged by God, and yet at the same time by one invested with their own nature. …
