JOHN 12:48 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; that very word which I spoke will judge them on the last day — though Jesus' primary mission is not judgment, His words themselves will function as judge for those who reject them. The word spoken by Jesus becomes the criterion and judge at the final judgment, reflecting the power of God's word to condemn those who refuse it. The judgment is ultimately self-imposed: rejection of the truth is rejection of salvation.
