3. Who shall be Judge.
Christ shall be the Judge,1 the same person which is the Mediator. For the Father hath committed all judgement unto the Son, and hath given him power also to execute judgement, 2in that he is the Son of Man. He hath committed all judgement unto the Sonne. He is ordained of God, a Judge of quick and dead. He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom he hath appointed. Neither yet are the Father and the holy Ghost removed from this judgement. But Christ immediately shall speak and give sentence, and that in his humane nature. And when he speaketh, God shall speak, and when he judgeth God shall judge; not only because he himself is God, but because the Father shall speak and judge by him. The judgement then shall belong unto all the three persons of the God-head, as concerning their consent and authority: but unto Christ, as touching the publishing and executing of the judgement. For Christ shall visibly give sentence of all,3 which sentence he shall also together execute. The Church also shall judge, as touching the approbation and allowing of his judgement: as Christ saith, that the Apostles shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel; that is, that they shall subscribe unto Christs judgement, and shall approve his sentence. Furthermore, the causes, why Jesus Christ man, shall be Judge, are these: §11. Because he must judge men; therefore he must be beheld of men as a Judge. But God is invisible. §22. Because God will have the Church glorified by the same Mediator, by whom, and for whom it was justified. God will judge the world in righteousness, 4by that man whom he hath appointed. They shall see the Son of Man come in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. The Father hath given power to the Son to execute judgement, in that he is the Son of Man.
