For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
The authority to judge belongs to Jesus because the Father has given it to Him. This shows the unique and equal relationship between the Father and the Son. To honor Jesus is to honor God, and to reject Him is to reject the one who sent Him. These verses make it clear that Jesus is not just a messenger or teacher but shares in the very glory and authority of the Father. Recognizing who Jesus truly is calls for reverence, trust, and worship.
