November 10, 2024. Last Judgment.

Worship Theme: The Last Judgment.
Today's Scripture readings set in sharp contrast the attitude of believers and unbelievers. The attitude of the unbeliever to any talk of judgment by God can only be denial or terror. But the attitude of the child of God is formed by the Word of God. As that Word has created is faith during his life on earth, so it molds his confidence in the face of death and judgment. We may look forward to the day on which we pass into the courtroom of God to hear the "Not guilty!" verdict which brought us to faith in the first place. There is not better preparation for death and judgment than a firm clinging to that gracious verdict. There is no better life than the one that has that verdict as its center and the motivation for everything in it.
