The Ultimate Judge // John 4:1-26 & 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10
Continuing on with our "Not my Jesus" sermon series, Dylan emphasizes that the Biblical Jesus is not the accepting and agreeable Jesus some may want him to be. Rather, Jesus is the perfect judge. Throughout these passages, Dylan teaches that Jesus is a judge that rules with compassion, standards, and authority. Jesus does not affirm our sin, but he holds us to a standard and calls us up and out of our sin, which is truly loving. He is a holy God that will judge righteously according to our sin, and yet, he steps into our brokenness to take the punishment for our sin so that we can experience his great mercy and grace.
