"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." — John 12:48
Before His ascension to
heaven, Jesus Christ gave an important commandment to His disciples. We read
this in the Scriptures:
"And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that
believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be
damned." — Mark 16:15–16
Accepting or rejecting
Christ is an individual's personal choice. However, we understand that
proclaimed truth to everyone is the duty of Christians. Preaching Christ is our
sole responsibility; it is a vital command given by Christ. Christians fulfil
this mandate—it is not about forced religious conversion.
Errors occur when certain
foolish or immature ministers—who lack true scriptural knowledge and spiritual
experience—claim to do ministry. They try to impose Christ upon people. We are
called only to sow the words of the Lord Jesus; we cannot forcibly plant it in
anyone's heart, nor can we compel anyone to come into Christ.
In today's meditation verse,
Jesus Christ conveys this truth: sow My words. As for the one who rejects them,
the word that I have spoken will judge him. Indeed, the Word of God is quick
and powerful. It pierces the human heart, penetrating the soul, thoughts,
actions, and even the physical body. We read of this in the Epistle to the
Hebrews:
"For the word of God is
quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." — Hebrews 4:12
Regardless of a person's
religious background, conscience remains uniform across all humanity—it stands
as proof that one God created everyone. Therefore, no human being can escape
God's final judgment. As the Apostle Paul writes:
"Which shew the work of
the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and
their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;"— Romans
2:15
Yes, the laws of the Lord
are written on the hearts of all people.
The Word of the Lord is righteous and transcends religions. That is why Jesus Christ said, "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." This is why we preach the Gospel to all. When we reject Christ and disbelieve His words, we cannot live righteously. His Word alone has the power to lead us in the true path of righteousness.
Furthermore, this warning—"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"—applies
equally to those who claim to accept Christ and call themselves Christians, yet
live in disobedience to His Word. We are duty-bound to examine ourselves and
ask: Is our life truly aligned with the Word of Christ?
