THE 1 T--iap I ie-no! c si th»#e Sundty I Baekffroantf Scrtptwre: Matthew 24-3’ | DeveUeaal R«adia( . Matthew Last Judgment Lesson for March 31, 1957 ALL human judgments are im- - perfect, and some of them highly unjust; because no man knows all the circumstances of any act, not even his own. We are notoriously poor judges of our owri actions; but we are no juster to others. Judgments of ourselves are spoiled by pride; judgments

Dr. Foreman

about others are spoiled by prejudice. We never do really see any action in all its dimensions. We can never judge the con s equences of an act because we know only a small fraction

of them. We cannot well judge the motives of an act, because we mis-read (or read through rose-' colored glasses) our own motives, 1 and the motives of others we can do no more than guess at Final Judgment Nevertheless, most of us are called onto pass judgment on otheis in various ways. And when we are honest we do try to come as near to God's viewpoint as we can. That is, we try to take everything into consideration. But try as we may. we must admit first and last that only God can be the final judge, for* only he has all the facts. There are many pictures of the “Last Judgment” in the Bible and they do not agree in details, since they are pictures of what cannot really be imagined. But back of all the pictures, stern, compelling, chilling as some of them are, we discern some plain truths. One is that not only is God the final Judge of every man, but his judgment is final because he and only he has all tbe facts, and he does riot render his judgment till all the facts are in. True, God's judgment is going on all the time, and we can read them in history. •‘I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps” as the poet says. This is true of men and nations, that the divine judgi ment ’ is interwoven with their lives. God settles many of the affairs of this planet, on this planet. But in the ultimate future, and only then, will all the facts be in. No judgment before then, not even God’s, is final. Th# Great S#parati#n All sorts of efforts have been made to dull the force of Jesus’ terrific picture of prophecy of the Last Judgment in the parable of the sheep and the goats. It has been said that this is a judgment of nations, not individual persons; but anyone who can read Greek can see that is not the case. The word “them” in Matt. 25:32 plainly does not refer to nations but to persons. (Furthermore, how do “nations” fit into the end of th# story?) It has been said too that this is not a separation of the “saved” from the “unsaved.” But the issues of the Trial, as Jesus pictures it, are eternal life and eternal death. The fact is, this is Jesus' picture of the Last Judgment of mankind, and there is no getting out of it. At least two points stand out, etched as It were by fire. One is that the final judgment against a man is not necessarily for what he has done but for what he didn't do; did not even think about doing. The other point is that the basis of judgment is a man’s human relations. True, deeper than that is a man’s relationship to Christ; but in this parable, Christ identifies himself completely with the troubled sufferers of the world What we do, or do not do, about human misery, we do or fail to do for the Lord. Th# Judgm#nt Seat #f Christ Another strange thing appears in this overwhelming portrayal of judgment, vast and final. The Judge, the King, is the Son of Man, Jesus Christ himself.' This fits in with other passages in the New Testament where sometimes Christ, and sometimes God, appears as the Judge of all. This is a tremendous claim on Jesus’ part, to have the right to sit on the throne of the universe. Nowhere is the deity of Christ moro strikingly affirmed than right here. On the other hand, he is still the Son of Man. He is our Elder Brother, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh,, “made like his brethren in every respect” as Heb. 2:17 says. God in his final judgment, acts with and through his Son who was and ever shall be one with God and one with man. We cannot deceive him. Ho Is one of us.

What Money Can Do Rev. J. R. Meadown There are many ways in which we may honor God. We may do so by worshiping Him in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving. God does not need our prayers and praises, but it is one way by which we can reveal our love and thus worship Him with our hearts as well as our lips, truly honoring Him. But we can also honor Him with our lives — our obedience to His will, our joy to do Him service, our willingness to sacrifice, for His Kingdom. The very spirit with which we place our weekly offering on God’s altar gives evidences of how much we really desire to hon- .—.
