#44 - JUDGE

JESUS

#44   JUDGE  - "You know Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him.  And we are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem.  And they also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.  God raised Him upon the third day, and granted that He should become visible, not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us, who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as JUDGE of the living and the dead.  Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."  Acts 10:38-42

Full Definition of JUDGE

: one who has the power to make decision on cases brought before a court of law  :  one who makes a decision or judgment

Jesus you have been appointed as JUDGE - the One who makes the decision.  "The Father JUDGES no one, but has given all JUDGMENT to the Son... Truly, truly, I say to you whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life.  He does not come into JUDGMENT, but has passed from death to life." ( John 5:22-24)  These words say that whoever believes in Jesus receives forgiveness of sins.  Peter is talking to the Gentiles and explaining who Jesus was - how He lived, healed the demon possessed, was crucified on the cross and rose again.  Peter had seen Him and had eaten with Him after he rose from the dead.  Peter explains that anyone who believes in Jesus will be forgiven of their sins.  Because Jesus died to pay for my sins and rose again, I can be released from the penalty of sin when I believe in Him.   It is not complicated - it only takes simple faith and belief in Jesus and what He did for me.  Thank You Jesus for being the JUDGE - the One who knows my heart and knows if I believe in You.  I worship You Jesus, the JUDGE, the One who knows my heart!!

(Have you believed in Jesus?  Thank Him, praise Him and worship Him today for being the JUDGE - the One who knows your heart!)#100dayswithjesus
