We continue to study the eight New Testament judgements. In this, the second of those, we look at First Corinthians 11.27-34 and consider the very serious consequences of continuing to be heedless of this important spiritual exercise.

There are three parts to this episode. First, I wasn't to give a general mission statement for this podcast and the written blog. Then I read to you an excerpt from the Bible Reading Fellowship's regular publication entitled Guidelines. And finally I will talk about the title subject, that of the Judgement of the Cross. I he it is a blessing to you.

We know that the Old Testament is full of the Judgements of God, but the New Testament also? Yes, that's true. Yet it's not a cause for despair. In each of the eight New Testament Judgements, the great mercy of God runs through them like the letters on a stick of rock.

Can you imagine a time when monkeys walked the earth? A time when primates just goofed around but eventually became, well, us?! That's exactly the sort of thing that the Apostle John invites us to do when he pauses to look back and consider a time when the Holy Ghost was not yet given.
