For the Father gave Him authority to execute judgment because He is a Son of man."25 The Apostle Peter, preaching to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius, declared that God had charged the apostles that they were to "preach unto the people and to testify that this is He who is ordained of God to be the judge of the living and the dead."26 The Apostle Paul, early in his ministry, wrote to the Romans that God would judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ:; and at the end of his ministry reaffirmed this truth in speaking of Jesus as the one "who shall judge the living and the dead."27
24Sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya, si Moises nang siya ay malaki na ay tumangging tawaging anak ng babaeng anak ni Faraon. 25Pinili niyang magbata ng kahirapan kasama ng mga tao ng Diyos kaysa magtamasa ng panandaliang kaligayahang dulot ng kasalanan. 26Itinuring niya na ang mga kahihiyan ng Mesiyas ay higit na malaking kayamanan kaysa sa maangkin niya ang mga mahahalagang bagay at kayamanan sa Egipto. Sapagkat nakatuon ang kaniyang mga mata sa gantimpalang darating. 27Sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya ay kaniyang iniwan ang Egipto.
