TEXT:
John
5:26-30

26 For as
the
Father
hath life
in

himself;
so hath
he given
to the
Son to

have life
in
himself;

27 And
hath
given
him
authority

to
execute
judgment
also,
because

he is the
Son of
man.

28 Marvel
not at
this: for
the hour
is

coming,
in the
which all
that are
in the

graves
shall
hear his
voice,

29 And
shall
come
forth;
they that

have
done
good,
unto the
resurrect

ion of
life; and
they that
have
done

evil, unto
the
resurrect
ion of

damnatio
n.
30 I can
of mine

own self
do
nothing:
as I hear,
I judge:

and my
judgment
is just;
because I
seek not

mine
own will,
but the
will of
the

Father
which
hath sent
me.

---------Today, I
am
continuin

g the
daily Just
Jesus
Evangelis
tic

Campaig
n sermon
series,
which is
aimed at

sharing
the
Gospel of
the Lord
Jesus

Christ
with
unbelieve
rs and
remindin

g
Christian
s, in this
important
election

year, to
keep the
main
thing the
main

thing -and that

is
reaching
unbelieve

rs with
the
Gospel of
the Lord
Jesus

Christ
and
praying
for their
salvation,

for the
problem
in
America
is not

only
disobedie
nt
president
s

politician
s, and
people,
but
disobedie

nt
pastors,
preacher
s, and
parishion

ers who
have
refused
to obey
the

Lords
Great
Commiss
ion which
is to, Go

ye
therefore,
and teach
all
nations

and who
have
refused
to obey
God's

repeated
comman
ds to
"pray
without

ceasing"
for
unbelieve
rs,
believers,

and
political
leaders.
Yes, you
should

pray for
the right
candidate
to win;
yes, you

should
vote for
the
candidate
that the

Lord
gives you
peace
about
voting

for. But,
don't get
caught
up in it
like the

world
does.
Nothing
much is
going to

change
until
people
get saved
and get

their
hearts
right with
the Lord.

This
campaign
is
inspired
by the

following
three
verses: 1
Corinthia
ns 2:2

which
says,
"For I
determin
ed not to

know
anything
among
you, save
Jesus

Christ,
and him
crucified.
" Acts
5:42

which
says,
"And
daily in
the

temple,
and in
every
house,
they

ceased
not to
teach and
preach
Jesus

Christ."
And 2
Timothy
2:4 which
says, "No

man that
warreth
entanglet
h himself
with the

affairs of
this life;
that he
may
please

him who
hath
chosen
him to be

a
soldier."
This
series is

not for
Christian
s
necessari
ly.

However,
I do hope
you are
one of
those

saints
who still
loves to
hear the
"Old, old

story of
Jesus
and His
love" -As

another
hymn
says,
"For
those

who
know it
best
Seem
hungerin

g and
thirsting
to hear it
like the
rest."

This
series is
primarily
for
unbelieve

rs, so
they can
hear and
understa
nd the

Gospel
and be
saved
from sin
and the

punishm
ent of sin
which is
hell. This
is

message
number
58.
A.W.

Tozer
said,
"The
teaching
of the

New
Testamen
t is that
now, at
this very

moment,
there is a
Man in
heaven
appearin

g in the
presence
of God
for us. He
is as

certainly
a man as
was
Adam or
Moses or

Paul; he
is a man
glorified,
but his
glorificati

on did
not dehumanize
him.
Today he

is a real
man, of
the race
of
mankind,

bearing
our
lineament
s and
dimensio

ns, a
visible
and
audible
man,

whom
any other
man
would
recognize

instantly
as one of
us and
yet he is
God.

In this
passage,
Jesus
Christ

teaches
that He
will one
day
summon

the world
to
judgment
-- every
person

from
every
generatio
n, no
matter

how
important
or how
insignific
ant, will

stand
before
Jesus
Christ.
For those

who have
trusted
Jesus
Christ as
Savior,

this will
be a
wonderfu
l and
highly

anticipate
d
meeting.
These
people

will be a
part of
the
resurrecti
on of life.

For those
who have
rejected
Jesus
Christ as

Savior,
this will
be an
awful and
dreaded

meeting,
for they
will be a
part of
the

resurrecti
on of
damnatio
n.

Jesus
Christ,
who is in
charge of
all life

and
judgment
, will
send
those

who love
and trust
Him into
Paradise
where

they will
be with
God for
all
eternity.

Those
who
chose to
reject
Him will

be sent
to Hell
where
they will
suffer

apart
from God
for all
eternity.

Now,
some
might
question
Jesus'

judgment
. Some
will say
that
Jesus'

judgment
is not
fair.
Some will
even be

surprised
that
Jesus is
even
involved

in
judging;
they have
grown
comforta

ble with
the idea
of Jesus
as healer,
miracle-

worker,
teacher,
and
savior,

but not
judge.
Speaking
to those

who have
such
question
s, Jesus
says, "I

can of
mine own
self do
nothing...
" Jesus

will not
carry out
His work
as a
judge on

His own.
In fact,
He
cannot
do so. He

says, "As
I hear, I
judge:
and my
judgment

is just."
Some
have said
that this
hearing

that
Jesus
speaks of
relates to
His

experienc
e with
men. He
watches
the lives

of all
men, and
because
He was
once a

man, He
can make
an
accurate
and fair

judgment
of man's
motives.

However,
it is more
likely that
Jesus is
referring

again to
His
relations
hip with
the

Father
and is
speaking
of His
role as

the
Divine
Communi
cant. He
hears

from the
Father
and
obeys the
Father,

thus He
is not
alone in
His
judgment

. God is
judging
us
through
Jesus.

Albert
Barnes
wrote,
"To 'hear'
expresse

s the
condition
of one
who is
commissi

oned or
instructe
d. Thus,
in John
8:26

Jesus
said, 'I
speak to
the world
those

things
which I
have
'heard' of
him". In

John
8:28, He
said, 'As
the
Father

hath
taught
me, I
speak
those

things.'
Jesus
represent
s himself
as

commissi
oned,
taught, or
sent of
God.

When he
says, 'as
I hear,'
He refers
to those

things
which the
Father
had
'showed'

Him -that is,

He came
to
communi

cate the
will of
God; to
show to
man what

God
wished
man to
know."

Because
He is
doing the
will of the
Father by

executing
judgment
, Jesus'
judgment
will be

just, fair,
righteous
, and
true. He
will not

make a
mistake
because
God
cannot

make a
mistake.
No one
who
stands

before
Jesus at
the end
of their
life will

be able to
say that
Jesus is
being

unfair to
them.
Jesus
goes on

to say in
verse 30,
"I can of
mine own
self do

nothing:
as I hear,
I judge:
and my
judgment

is just;
because I
seek not
mine own
will, but

the will of
the
Father
which
hath sent

me."
Jesus'
will is
one with
the

Fathers.
What
God the
Father
commissi

oned Him
to do, He
will do. A
respecte
d

theologia
n has
stated
about
this

verse,
This
verse is
transition
al; it

conclude
s the
section
on Jesus
unity with

the
Father .
The
section
ends the

way it
began,
with the
point that
the Son

can do
nothing
apart
from the
Father.

His
judgment
, as
everythin
g He

does, is
from the
express
will of the
Father.

He is the
perfect
Spokesm
an for the
Father

and His
effective
Executive
. Jesus
will is to

do the
Fathers
will,
which
shows

that He
has the
same
nature.

Judging
the souls
of
mankind
is one of

those
things
that God
has
placed

under the
authority
of the
Son. The
good

news
about
this is
that
Jesus is

a
merciful
and
righteous
judge

who
longs for
all people
to be a
part of

the
resurrecti
on of life.
It is not
His will

that ANY
should
perish,
but that
ALL

should
come to
repentan
ce.

Today,
you can
decide
whether
you will

perish or
repent,
whether
you will
face

eternal
life or
eternal
damnatio
n. If you

want to
make
sure that
you are a
part of

those
who will
be
resurrect
ed unto

life and
not
resurrect
ed unto
damnatio

n. I
encourag
e you to
accept
Jesus

Christ as
your
Savior
today.

Heres
how:
First,
accept

the fact
that you
are a
sinner,
and that

you have
broken
Gods
law. The
Bible

says in
Romans
3:23:
"For all
have

sinned
and come
short of
the glory
of God.

Second,
accept
the fact
that there

is a
penalty
for sin.
The Bible
states in

Romans
6:23:
"For the
wages of

sin is
death
Third,
accept

the fact
that you
are on
the road
to hell.

Jesus
Christ
said in
Matthew
10:28:

"And fear
not them
which kill
the body,
but are

not able
to kill the
soul: but
rather
fear him

which is
able to
destroy
both soul
and body

in hell."
Also, the
Bible
states in
Revelatio

n 21:8:
"But the
fearful,
and
unbelievi

ng, and
the
abomina
ble, and
murderer

s, and
whoremo
ngers
and
sorcerers

, and
idolaters,
and all
liars,
shall

have
their part
in the
lake
which

burneth
with fire
and
brimston
e: which

is the
second
death.

Now this
is bad
news, but
heres
the good

news.
Jesus
Christ
said in
John

3:16:
"For God
so loved
the
world,

that he
gave his
only
begotten
Son, that

whosoev
er
believeth
in him
should

not
perish,
but have
everlastin
g life."

Just
believe in
your
heart that
Jesus

Christ
died for
your
sins, was
buried,

and rose
from the
dead by
the
power of

God for
you so
that you
can live
eternally

with Him.
Pray and
ask Him
to come
into your

heart
today,
and He
will.

Romans
10:9-13
says,
That if
thou

shalt
confess
with thy
mouth
the Lord

Jesus,
and shalt
believe in
thine
heart that

God hath
raised
him from
the dead,
thou

shalt be
saved.
For with
the heart
man

believeth
unto
righteous
ness; and
with the

mouth
confessio
n is made
unto
salvation.

For the
scripture
saith,
Whosoev
er

believeth
on him
shall not
be
ashamed.

For there
is no
differenc
e
between

the Jew
and the
Greek:
for the
same

Lord over
all is rich
unto all
that call
upon

him. For
whosoev
er shall
call upon
the name

of the
Lord
shall be
saved."

Dear
friend, if
you are
willing to
believe

on the
Lord
Jesus
Christ for
salvation,

please
pray with
me this
simple
prayer:

Heavenly
Father, I
realize
that I am
a sinner

and that I
have
done
some bad
things in

my life.
For
Jesus
Christ
sake,

please
forgive
me of my
sins. I
now

believe
with all of
my heart
that
Jesus

Christ
died for
me, was
buried,
and rose

again.
Lord
Jesus,
please
come

into my
heart and
save my
soul and
change

my life
today.
Amen.

If you
believed
in your
heart that
Jesus

Christ
died on
the
cross,
was

buried,
and rose
again,
allow me
to say,

congratul
ations on
doing the
most
important

thing in
life and
that is
accepting
Jesus

Christ as
your Lord
and
Saviour!
