The Gospel of John - We Are Not the Judge

Read John 5:16-27

In addition, the Father judges no one. Instead, he has given the Son absolute authority to judge – John 5:22 (NLT)

Our knowledge is imperfect and incomplete. We must be careful when we are inclined to judge others, lest we find ourselves in the position of the religious leaders in this passage, who were passing judgment on the one and only true judge, Jesus himself. Attempt to clarify situations and help others reconsider their actions, but do not usurp Jesus’ authority to be the ultimate judge.
