John 5:22 - Portion from Matthew Henry explanation:
Christ’s commission or delegation to the office of a judge, which is twice spoken of here (v. 22): He hath committed all judgment to the Son; and again (v. 27): he hath given him authority. First, The Father judges no man; not that the Father hath resigned the government, but he is pleased to govern by Jesus Christ; so that man is not under the terror of dealing with God immediately, but has the comfort of access to him by a Mediator. Having made us, he may do what he pleases with us, as the potter with the clay; yet he does not take advantage of this, but draws us with the cords of a man. 2. He does not determine our everlasting condition by the covenant of innocency, nor take the advantage he has against us for the violation of that covenant. The Mediator having undertaken to make a vicarious satisfaction, the matter is referred to him, and God is willing to enter upon a new treaty; not under the law of the Creator, but the grace of the Redeemer.Secondly, He has committed all judgment to the Son, has constituted him Lord of all

In a world so radically different to what it was 2000 years ago... Do you think man of today will be judged by the same criteria as he was back then?
Would it have been easier for a man back then to lead a more moral life than the man of today?
We have evolved greatly since then (not in a Darwinian way lol) so I'd like to think that The judgement would be reflective of modern times

I'm sure Christ judges perfectly. But He also takes into account everything that's involved with every individual I'm also sure, which obviously would make sense because He judges perfectly. God put all judgement in Christ's hands, didn't He? Also, Christ said "if you've seen Me, you've seen the Father," so surely they judge alike?
