John 8:15-16”you judge according to
the flesh: I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for its
not I alone who judge but I and the father who sent me.”
Jesus
addressed the Pharisees after he had released the woman caught in adultery. Notice
the bible does not address the woman as adulterous. Jesus said that he is the
light of the world a testimony to which the Pharisees did not auger well with.
He had just revealed to them that whoever walks in him will have the light of
life.
The
Pharisees judged according o the flesh yet he judged no one. It’s a thing that
we see in the church today. Men judging fellow men yet the son Of God did not
come to the world to condemn it but by him the word may be reconciled to God. At
least the Pharisees could have discerned from the scriptures that the Messiah
was not coming to condemn the world but to save the world.
Jesus
said though that if he happens to judge, then his judgment is true. The one with
the full rights to judge did not judge humanity but humanity through him has
been saved. He did not judge you and me he is not judging you and I but he is
giving us his gift of no condemnation.
my
judgment is true, for its not I alone who judge but I and the father who sent
me.”
Jesus
says that his judgment is true because his judgment is not done by him alone
but with his father. That term to judge from the Webster dictionary it means to
form an opinion after carefully weighing of evidence and testing of premises.
the word judge in Webster dictionary means to form an opinion after carefully assessing the available evidences.
God
saw the world and in its sin weighed and saw that the world deserved to be
punished after weighing of the intensity of man’s sins in spurning the
authority of God.
the evidences before him declared that sins deserved to be punished by death
Christ
Judgment is true because he weighed and saw man in his wickedness, he came and
dwelt among us and became like us. His love for mankind fostered him to die for
us at the cross and at the cross God the father executed his righteousness by
judging Christ for us, the wages of sin is death and therefore Christ gave up
his life and took the penalty of sin for us so that whosoever believes in him
will not have to bear the penalty of sin.
His
judgment is true because its not him who judges alone but he and the father,
for the scriptures tell us for God was in Christ reconciling the world to
himself.(2nd Cor 5:19)
God
views and weigh his opinion on you and he sees you in Christ, if you have
believed in him he sees you judged in Christ Jesus. He sees you forgiven in
Christ Jesus. If you are not born again, he wants and yearns to see you receive
forgiveness which is yours in Christ Jesus
His judgement is complete because Jesus was judged entirely on our behalf
indeed he bore our sins on the tree, 1st peter 2:24, even if sins are to be searched for none has remained that was not cleansed by his blood.
he has come to perfect us , to sanctify us by a once and for all sacrifice
Heb 10:10-14God's way - by which we are made fit for God by the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus.
11
Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old
sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin
problem.
12
As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God
13
and waited for his enemies to cave in.
14
It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very
imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed
to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process (the message)
