John 5: 21-23

Excerpt:…He points you to your Judge for after Christ said the Father Judgeth no man, He purveyed the son as His elect for that mission. “ John 5: 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 22 For the Father“judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” —John 5: 21-23 Befuddling indeed, for other Texts seem to cite His direct participation in the judgment. Deeper wisdom today reveals that when the Bible refers to God’s judgment, it is just as the mustard seed teaches —a matter of more careful, last-day theo-mastication! Communication is a noble gift requiring that we at least use all the grammar school Language-Art skills taught to us. Otherwise, we become illiterate theologically. The Bible calls this malaise, dullness of hearing. Though we may be listless, not Christ: by use of the scholarship correctly taught to us in our youth, He speaks Father’s best! The term judgment is a case in point: It is a homonym, a word of multiple conotations. Ears given to hear, rather than being glib, instead, serve God with all their hearts, and as graduates above a Sesame-Street theology, they decipher the potential meaning of judgment from the full orb of all likely denotations. To help, God deploys for us a teacher.
