John 5:22 Only Jesus judges?

[jeffnevins]

22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

Just curious if Jesus took over judging from God (previously judge) after he became an adult on earth. Thanks for any insights.

The Father judges no man who has put their faith in Christ. To the saved person, the father sees only the blood of His son. The Son will also judge the wicked at the end of the Age.

God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Good question, one that I can not fully answer.

IMO: I would say yes based upon such as Hebrews 5. OTOH: I could also possibly build a case for just after creation. However, I will stick with the former at this time.

We do however know when it comes to an end:

1 Corinthians 15:24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he

The Father has given the Son the right to judge so that the Son may be honored

And He has granted Him the right to pass judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

John 5:27 HCSB

Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, in order that those who do not see will see and those who do see will become blind."

I invite you to read Matthew 25.

In the parable of the ten virgins, the Bridegroom judges.

In the parable of the talents, the one who was the lord who travelled to a far country judges when He returns.

But the real meat is found in vv 31-46 which deals specifically with the Son of Man judging the nations.

You may note in the common theme of all these parables and summed up in v31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory...then He will sit on the throne of His glory" So we have Jesus Christ returning in glory, taking the throne and performing the duties as King v 34 "...blessed of my Father..." meaning that the Father is over everything, but the role of King and Judge is that of Jesus Christ when He returns and assumes the throne.

Personally I view it as a necessary role for Christ our LORD to be the sole Judge rather than having His Father keep stepping in and kibitzing on the Judging. How could the Trinity be at odds? In the passage that you presented, Jesus is saying that He is in perfect harmony with His Father in heaven, therefore there would be no necessity for anyone other than the omnipotent, omniscient risen LORD to be King and Judge.
