12. Christ’s Proper Place“Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.”“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

13. Christ’s Proper Place“I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.”

14. Christ’s Proper Place“Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out – those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but Him who sent me.”John 5:22-30

15. Christ’s Proper PlaceFollowing Christ is not about a list of rules.Following Christ is all about giving Christ His proper place in our lives now.Just like a test forces judgment on whether you pass a class or not. Judgment is coming on this earth, and the question is are we ready?
