"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him … Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead… - John 3:17; 2 Timothy 4:1

A judge was driving to his court when a drunk driver suddenly veered off the road in front of him, and smashed into a tree. The jurist jumped from his car, and tried to rescue the man from his burning car. Instead, the uninjured drunk ran away. Police caught and arrested the drunk driver. Ironically, the man was brought before the very judge who had saved him. In one venue, the judge had come to save him, but in another, he was the man’s judge. In His incarnation in the earth, Jesus came to save the world, but in eternity, He sits as the world’s judge.
