HE WILL COME AGAIN TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD…
AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS!

📖 “He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints.”

Let’s be clear:
 Judgment isn’t about fear.
It’s about Jesus.
And Jesus looks like love.

⚖️ Judgment isn’t God switching personalities.
 It’s Jesus getting the final word — and that word is mercy, justice, healing, and truth.

So what does this part of the Creed remind us?

✝️ Jesus is the judge — and he’s the same Jesus who fed the poor, healed the sick, and forgave his enemies.
🔥 God’s judgment is love that reveals, restores, and makes all things new.

And we believe in…

🕊️ The Holy Spirit — not a bonus for the “spiritual,” but the presence of God moving now, shaping us into love.

🌍 The holy catholic Church — “catholic” means universal. One body, many voices, all joined in Christ.

⛪ The communion of saints — across time and space, we’re never singing alone.

Because Jesus will come again:
 🔹 We live with hope.
 🔹 We step into the light.
 🔹 We trust that love wins.

🙌 So let’s be people of resurrection —
 welcome the light, follow the Spirit, and live the kingdom now.
