The Story of Jesus
Final Events "The Judgment"

(Lesson 31)

Introduction:
 

         1. Growing in the knowledge of Christ is an important activity (2 Peter 3:18).
         2. This growth is accomplished through careful Bible study (John 5:39).
         3. As Jesus traveled throughout Palestine teaching and preaching, He addressed many important
             subjects, including "final events."
         4. In dealing with "final events," Jesus talked about:
             a. His return
                 1) He promised His apostles that He will return (John 14:2-3).
                 2) He said that no one knows when He will return (Matthew 24:36).
                 3) He taught His followers to "watch" for His return (Matthew 24:42; 25:13) and to be "ready"
                     for it (Matthew 24:44).
             b. the resurrection.
                 1) He taught that the dead will be raised (John 5:21, 25).
                 2) He taught that the dead will be raised "at the last day" (John 6:39-40, 44, 54).
         5. In dealing with "final events," Jesus also talked about "the judgment," the subject of this lesson.

Discussion:

I.           THE  SCRIPTURES  TEACH  THAT  JUDGMENT  WILL OCCUR

         A. Jesus taught that judgment will occur in:
             1. Matthew 10:11-15
             2. Matthew 11:20-24
             3. Matthew 12:36.
         B. The reality of the judgment is also declared in:
             1. Ecclesiastes 11:9; 12:14
             2. Hebrews 9:27.

II.          THE  SCRIPTURES  TEACH  WHEN  JUDGMENT  WILL  OCCUR

         A. Jesus taught in Matthew 25:31-33 that judgment will occur when He returns.
         B. Even though the time of the judgment is not known because no one knows when Jesus will return,
             there will be a "day" of judgment (Matthew 10:15; 11:22, 24; 12:36).

III.         THE  SCRIPTURES  SUPPLY  ADDITIONAL  DETAILS  CONCERNING  THE  JUDGMENT

         A. Jesus will be the judge (John 5:22, 26-27, 30).
         B. Everyone will be judged (John 5:28-29; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
         C. Each person will be judged on the basis of:
             1. his judgment of other people (Matthew 7:1-2)
             2. his words (Matthew 12:35-37)
             3. his works (Matthew 16:27)
             4. his assistance of the needy (Matthew 25:31-46)
             5. what is written in the books (Revelation 20:12; John 12:48).
