We Need A Judge, Justice, & Divine Judgment
The typical modern American has rejected the idea of a judging God, thinking that it gives them freedom. What they don't realize is that, without an ultimate judge, our lives lack meaning, purpose and hope. If there is no Just God who will judge and set all things right, there is no basis for anyone to claim any action is more meaningful than another.
But as we see in John 12, Jesus has something to say about this judgment, and how a person can escape it.
