It’s probably one of the most revered unwritten rules of our time. “Thou shalt not judge anyone else.” Don’t get me wrong, there’s so much good in that. There’s huge value in empathy, in walking a mile in each other’s shoes, and in constantly remember that we do not know what’s really going on in each other’s hearts. It’s right that we shouldn’t judge each other.
This Sunday, though, my goal is to get you excited about judgement. God’s judgement. The Bible teaches us that Jesus is going to come back a second time and he’s going to judge us. And he wants us to be excited about that. Is that possible? Yes!
Hebrews 9:24-28
24 For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. 25 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
