Matthew 25:31-46
In these verses our Lord Jesus Christ describes the judgment day, and some of its leading circumstances. There are few passages in the whole Bible more solemn and heart-searching than this. May we read it with the deep and serious attention which it deserves.
Let us mark in the first place, who will be the Judge in the last day. We read that it will be “the Son of man”, Jesus Christ himself.
That same Jesus who was born in the manger of Bethlehem and took upon Him the very form of a servant; who was despised and rejected of men and often had not where to lay His head; who was condemned by the princes of this world, beaten, scourged and nailed to the cross — that same Jesus shall Himself judge the world when He comes in His glory. Unto Him the Father hath committed all judgment. (John 5:22). To Him at last every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that He is Lord (Phil. 2:10–11).
