Scripture (KJV)– Acts 17:31 — “Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.”
Reflection
God has set a definite day of judgment, and it is not uncertain or symbolic—it is appointed. This judgment will be carried out in perfect righteousness through Jesus Christ. The resurrection is God’s public proof that Jesus is the ordained Judge of all humanity. No one will stand before God unaware or uninformed; the evidence has already been given.
For believers, this truth brings both comfort and urgency. Comfort, because our Judge is also our Savior. Urgency, because the world must hear the gospel before that appointed day arrives. Every moment matters. How we live, what we proclaim, and whom we point to Christ carries eternal weight.
Prayer
Father, thank You for the assurance You have given through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Help me to live with eternity in view, walking in righteousness and obedience before You. Give me boldness and compassion to share the truth of the gospel with those who do not yet know You. Prepare my heart daily, and use my life to glorify Christ until that appointed day comes. In Jesus’ name, amen.
