In John 5 Jesus’ enemies accused him of “working” on the Sabbath in healing
a paralyzed man. In His response, Jesus “doubles down” and puts himself on
the same level as God. Jesus also tells his opponents that the Father has
committed to Him, the Son, the role of judging all men. In this lesson, we
take a look at an aspect of Jesus many prefer to avoid: Jesus, the great
Judge of all men on the Last Day. This carries important implications for
several areas of our lives. Here Jesus also introduces teaching on the
resurrection of the dead: considered a foundational teaching in the early
church, yet commonly misunderstood among Christians today.
