Here comes the judge (37 of 39)
James Merritt
Revelation 20:11-15
Introduction
1. The last person who will ever die has died. The last person who will ever be raised from the dead has been raised. Now comes the final fulfillment of one of the most solemn statements in all of the bible, hebrews 9:27, ''and as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.''
2. Every person who lived without jesus and died without jesus, now stands before jesus at this great white throne. Be careful to understand that this is the judgment of the sinner, not the judgment or the saint. This is the judgment of lost people, not the judgment of the lord's people.
3. As a child of god, i will never have to stand before this great white throne. Do you know why? Because i settled my case out of court. I have an ''advocate with the father, jesus christ the righteous.'' (i john 2:1) he has already plead my case at calvary. God has looked at me through the blood of his son and said, ''not guilty - case dismissed.''
4. I heard about a jury trial that had gone on for several days and the jury had been sequestered trying to reach a verdict. Finally, they were called back in by the judge who said to them, ''ladies and gentlemen, no verdict is necessary, the case has been dismissed because the defendant has died.'' when i died to sin, i died to judgment. When i gave my life to the lord jesus christ i died to sin. Unto god and will reign with him forever and ever. That is why the scriptures say, ''there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in christ jesus.'' (rom. 8:la)
5. But for the sinner god still has some unfinished business. The bible says in romans 6:23. ''The wages of sin is death.'' for the sinner ''pay day'' has arrived. The judge has been seated. The court has been convened. The roll call of the doomed has begun. We are given a future glimpse of the last trial that will ever take place in the court of n ...
