2 Chronicles 19:5-7 (7/6/17)

Judging

July 6, 2017 • Benham Brothers

* King Jehoshaphat gave his judges a very good charge.
* He reminded them that they are not the ultimate judges.
* Their role wasn’t to define right and wrong, but to simply enforce it.
* God’s role was to define it.
* Jehoshaphat put these judges “Under God.”
* The Bible is where our founders got the idea of putting our nation “under God.”
* In Matthew 7 Jesus tells us not to judge.
* What He means is that God is The Judge, the one who DEFINES good and evil, right and wrong.
* We cannot sit in the seat of this judge - we can’t define it for ourselves.
* We can simply agree with The Judge or disagree.
* Jesus tells us to agree with Him!
* vs 10 - a good judge will warn people not to sin against the Lord.
