CHRISTS GLORIOUS APPEARANCE TO Judgement IN Two Choice SERMONS OF THAT Reverend Minister of Christ Mr. SAMUEL MALBON LONDON Printed by John Hancock Sen. and Jun. at the Three Bibles in Popes-Head-Alley in Cornhill 1673. THE SUMME OF TWO SERMONS Preached Aug. 19 MAT. XVI 27. For the Son of Man shall come in the Glory of his Father with his Angels and then he shall render toward every Man according to his works THIS verse hath either reference to the immediate foregoing or rather to the 24. as a further Argument to press that difficult duty For the Son of Man i.e. the Lord Jesus Christ who is both God and Man as God the Son and only begotten of God as Man the Son of Man born of the Virgin Mary though not begotten by man as other men are The Son of Man Christ Jesus in his humane Nature shall come We read of a double coming of Christ The first is past long ago when he was born into the world then Christ came to obey the Law and by suffering to satisfie Justice and so to save sinners All those among the sinful sons of Adam who were from all Eternity elected and should in time be effectually called and believe on him The second coming of Christ is yet to be The Son of Man shall come which was not only true when it was spoken by Christ but also still is true of which coming of Christ we reade Acts 1.10 11. This coming of Christ it will be to Judgement at the end of the world at the Resurrection then Iesus Christ shall come to judge the world of this coming of Christ my Text speaks as appears by the last words And then shall he c. which coming of Christ was long ago foretold and prophesied in Jude 14.14 c. in the Glory of his Father this Christ mentions that we might not think his second coming will be like his first then he came under the habit and shape of a servant then he came to suffer to be judg'd and condemn'd by men and therefore came in a mean and despised way but when he shall come again the second time he will come as a Iudge to be a Iudge and therefore will come in the glory c. He will come like himself with his Angels with all the Angels accompanying him who are his And then and not till then he shall Iesus Christ himself shall reward or render to every man one and another good and bad high low c. according to their works not according to their thoughts and words of themselves not according to their wills and wishes not according to their meanings and purposes c. but according to their works not according to the works of others but according to their own works Observations 1. There is to be a day of Iudgement 2. Jesus Christ the Son of Man is to be the Judge at this day 3. When Christ shall come to judge the world he shall come in the Glory of his Father 4. With the Angels 5. The Angels are Christs with his Angels 6. That at the day of Iudgement every man shall receive a reward from Christ according to his works D. 2 That Jesus Christ the Son of Man is to be the Judge at the day of Judgement That Iesus Christ who suffered upon the Cross at Ierusalem he shall be the Iudge at this day and that in that nature in which he suffered God gave the Law by a Man viz. Moses and he will judge men according to the Law by the Son of Man Iesus Christ who was typified by Moses John 12.47 Iohn 3.17 These places speak nothing against my Text but the meaning of them is this either thus That the first and chief End of his coming was not to judge the world but to save it or rather those places are spoken on concerning his first coming That then he came not to judge c. The truth of this doctrine appears by many places of Scripture the day of Iudgement is not often spoken of but this is hinted That Iesus Christ shall be the Iudge Iob 19.26 that is judge the world Acts 10.38 39 c. Hence 2 Cor. 5.10 it s called The Iudgement-Seat of Christ and very often called The Day of Christ 1 Cor. 1.8 Phil. 1.6 and 10 c. Acts 17.31 Rom. 2.16 Christ shall judge the world not that the Father and Spirit are excluded but because Christ in his humane Nature will appear will speak and pass the Sentence and he speaking God will speak by him and he judging God will judge by him and therefore it s said in that Acts 17.31 He hath appointed a day in which he will judge the World by that Man whom he hath appointed The Iudgment will be of the whole Trinity as to the Consent and Authority but it will be Christs as to the visible Acts Promulgation and Execution of the Sentence as when Iudges among men condemn Malefactors it is by the Authority of the Prince though the trial and sentence be actually by him Some observe there are four things to be considered in Iudgment 1. Judicial Power 2 The internal Approbation ●f good and detestation of evil 3. The Retribution of Reward These three agree to each Person in the Trinity But then 4. There is an external sitting upon the Tribunal and pronouncing of sentence and in this respect the Father judgeth no man but hath committed all Iudgement to the Son Iohn 5.23 This is part of Christ his Kingly Office as he is the Fathers Prorex and rules for him Christ hath three Offices Priest Prophet and King as he is a Priest so he died to save his people and ever lives to make intercession for them as he is a Prophet so he reveals the minde of his Father to them as he is a King so he now rules the world and will hereafter judge it Christs Kingly Office will not end till the day of Iudgement be past and then he shall give up the Kingdom to his Father 1 Cor. 15.24 This is an honour fit for none else but God and Christ to be the great Judge of the whole world All men shall be judged at this day except Christ only who shall be the Judge Christ shall be the Judge not that he hath taken this work upon himself but the Father hath appointed him to it as before God appointed Christ and sent him at his first coming to save the world and he hath appointed him and will send him at his second coming to judge the world That there shall be a day of Iudgement even Reason it self manifesteth and therefore the Heathen themselves had an apprehension of some such time but Iesus Christ shall be the Iudge that is a Truth only made known by the Scripture and therefore wholly to be received by faith but though the truth could not have bin known by reason yet it s no way contrary to it yea there may be several reasons given why it should be
