Judge Judy has become an icon on television. Sharp witted and highly knowledgeable, Judge Judith Sheindlin is a master at cutting to the core of disputants’ complaints, flaying them to the bone with her razor-sharp remarks.
Judge Judy knows her stuff, and the world watches for no other reason than to see her in action.
Jesus is that judge for all creation. John 5:27 tells us that Jesus has been given all authority to exercise judgment upon all people at the Judgment Seat of Christ, giving his blessing to the redeemed. He will also preside at the Great White Throne Judgment, which is for those who have chosen the ways of the world.
Judge Judy received her exalted position as the number one rated court reality show on television due to her credentials and expertise. Without those, she would just be another woman behind a bench, and no one would care very much.
Jesus receives his exalted position because he is the Son of Man, with all the credentials that implies. What credentials? He suffered and died for us, hanging on the cross; and three days later he rose from the dead so that we might have everlasting life. Those are credentials that no man can dispute. Jesus was deity in the flesh. He is our rescuing King, and he will one day be our righteous judge.
Jesus is our Judge Judy, and in that day, he will cut to the core of people’s salvation, flaying their lies to the bone; and all creation will watch just to see him in action.
What is hidden will come to light. Let’s make sure it is the saving hand of Jesus covering all our faults and failures. Nothing else will pass the test.
