At the General Judgment, Christ as man will be the Judge of men, because He is at once God and man. He will therefore have not only the most intimate knowledge of all our lives, but a sympathy with us, an understanding of our nature from experience, that will give Him in the natural order the highest qualifications for being our Judge.

On that day what a complete reverse there will be of all the world's unjust verdicts! How many, now ridiculed, despised, condemned, will then be glorious and honored before men and Angels! How many that were highly esteemed on earth will then be covered with shame and contempt! What will be my lot? What will my sentiments be on that day when the thoughts of all hearts will be revealed?

On the right of the Judge will be the sheep, on the left the goats; the one overflowing with celestial delights, the other already filled with the despair of Hell. What will distinguish them? Simply this, whether they have shown charity to others for Christ's sake. This and nothing else will be the test--"Inasmuch as you have done it to one of My least brethren you have done it to Me." Has my kindness to others been done purely for Christ's sake? How shall I stand this test?

Ask God to teach you how to secure a place on the right hand of the Judge.
