For Judgment

John 9:38-39 – Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

John 12:47 – “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Luke 4:18-19 – “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

Application:

• ·         In a sense Jesus did not come for judgment, but His coming divides people, and this always brings a type of judgment.
• ·          “To judge” was not the purpose of Jesus’ coming, but judgment is the other side of salvation.
• ·         The man was giving Jesus the reverence due to God.
