A Future Judgement

Text: John 5:28-29

A FUTURE JUDGMENT

Jesus spoke to His hearers about a future judgment. He would also preside over that final Judgment!

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming
In which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
And come forth- those who have done good, to the resurrection of life,
And those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.  

John 5:28-29

 1. “Do not marvel at this”

a. Jesus anticipated the response of His hearers

b. They found it hard to believe what Jesus was saying

c. The word “marvel” can be used in two ways:

i. Positively
The hearer would be so glad that he has heard the voice of the Son of God Himself;
He responds with faith and he is saved.

ii. Negatively
The hearer rejects what Jesus is teaching.
He refuses to recognise Jesus as the anointed Son of Man who has been given all divine authority! He is in danger of the ultimate divine judgment.

2. “For the hour is coming”

a. This is a reference to the end of time

b. In our human understanding this seems to be far, far away

c. To the Lord, it is but an inevitable hour!

3. “All who are in the graves will hear His voice”

a. The word “graves” is a generic word to describe the physically and literally dead

b. They too will hear the voice of the Son of God

4. There are two resurrections

a. “Resurrection of life”
To all who have been granted eternal life will also receive a new resurrection body

b.“Resurrection of condemnation”
They will be judged and will receive condemnation

5. How would God judge?

a. By the deeds of our life.

b. Those who truly believe in the Lord would show that they are God’s children by the good they do in their life! Those who do not believe in God would not be committed to doing good. Those who reject the Light and instead walk in the darkness of evil will receive the judgment of condemnation!

经文：约翰福音 5: 28-29

未来的审判

耶稣向听见的人讲述未来的审判。祂也会主持这最终的审判！

“你们不要把这事看做稀奇。时候要到，凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音，就出来，行善的复活得生，作恶的复活定罪。”

《约翰福音 5: 28-29》

1. 你们不要把这事看做稀奇

a. 耶稣预料到听见祂的人的反应

b. 他们认为耶稣所说的话难以置信

c. “稀奇” 这词可以两种方式使用

i. 正面的使用

听见的人会因为听到了上帝的儿子的声音而感到很高兴; 他会以信心回应，因此得救。

ii. 负面的使用

听见的人会拒绝耶稣的教训。他会拒绝承认耶稣是被赋予一切神圣权柄的受膏人子！ 他将面临最终的神圣审判。

2. 时候要到

a. 这指的是末日

b. 在人的理解中，这似乎是遥远的

c. 对主来说，这是一个不可避免的时刻！

3. “凡在坟墓里的，都要听见他的声音”

a. “坟墓” 这词是用来形容身体和实在上死亡的通用词

b. 他们也会听到上帝的儿子的声音

4. 有两种复活

a. 复活得生

所有被赐予永生的人都将获得一个全新的复活的身体

b. 复活定罪

他们将受到审判并被定罪

5. 上帝会如何审判？

a. 按我们生命中的行为

b. 那些真正相信主的人会用生命中的善行显示他们是上帝的儿女！

那些不相信上帝的人不会致力于行善。那些拒绝光而在邪恶的黑暗中行走的人会受到定罪的审判！
