The Father … has entrusted
all judgment to the Son.
—John 5:22
We are judged. Every day …
By the face that looks back at us from the mirror.
By the people we love, and the people we don’t.
By what our children do, and don’t do.
By the roads we have taken, and the ones we haven’t.
We are closer than we’ve ever been to the day when God will pull the plug on time. Then all of the judgments that have been laid on us and all the judgments we have laid on others will themselves be judged.
That final judgment—the one that really counts—belongs to Jesus.
He is the only one who can judge fairly,
for he is the only one who knows all.
