“For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son.”

And this is not in any secondary way, for He will also be the One Who passes the judgment which determines the manner of their resurrection, for ‘the Father judges no one but has committed all judgment to the Son'. Indeed judgment is totally in His hands. This stark claim took the position even further. To be the One to Whom all judgment was committed could only signify that at the very least He was God's favourite, and should lead on, with what He has already said, to the recognition of (to them) the unthinkable. That He was God. And yet He is also man, for the world will be judged by ‘that man whom God has ordained' and resurrected (Acts 17:31).
