I
am a ‘Joint-Judge’ in the making! Oh my, what a sobering thought.
You
see, with God, in Christ I’m seated, so says The Bible.
And
am Joint Heir with Him Who’ll judge the world. Man, what a title!
How
much of this in your life, I wonder, have you been taught?
And not only judge the world with Him will I
do,*
But
also angels – especially evil ones who against me rail;
And
maybe the good ones with whose help I prevail,
Those
sent to serve me, and help me get through!
As
Joint-Judge, I’ll have no law degrees from man’s universities,
Nor
use a gavel, or wear a black robe, but one of pure light.
I’ll
sit on no man’s bench of law, nor the laws of man recite;
Nor
be corrupted with graft or any of man’s perversities.
With
great enthusiasm I embrace this pending responsibility,
Living
life in its anticipation, from sinful contradictions walking away.
But
what about you, my Friend, what roles are you destined to play,
In
the eternity to come, and come it will,
that’s no probability!

Do you not know the saints will judge the world? Do you not know we shall judge
angels? (1 Corinthians 6:2-3) Are they [holy angels] not all
ministering spirits sent forth to minister for [serve as servants to] those
who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)
