All Means All - Reframing Judgment in Scripture | Misunderstood Scriptures

Today, we're diving deep into the often misunderstood topic of judgment, as we wrap up our series on scriptures that tend to get a bad rap. We’re riffing off John 12:31-32, where Jesus reveals the transformative power of his sacrifice—an act that draws all of humanity to him, not just a select few. It’s crucial to recognize that when we add words like "peoples" for clarity, we might unintentionally diminish the profound truth of Jesus’ statement; all means all, and that’s a big deal! We’ll explore how this understanding impacts our lives, especially when we grapple with feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Ultimately, it’s about embracing the fullness of Christ’s work, which invites us to relax and rest in our reconciled identities, free from the burden of striving.Resources:Settled Conference - Aug. 27-28, 2026For Updates on Jason's Journey: settledco.com/jasonReclaim What's Real 5-Day JouneySettled Design CourseFree 30 Minute Biblical Counseling SessionLinktree - https://linktr.ee/settledcoConnect with us:Website - https://settledco.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/settled.co/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552836102590YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@settledpodcastLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/settledco/Takeaways:In this episode, we discussed how adding words to scripture, like 'peoples', can actually diminish the original meaning of Jesus's powerful message.We explored the idea that Jesus's judgment encompasses all, challenging the notion that we need to do anything to earn our place in his reconciliation.The symbolism of the bronze serpent in the Old Testament highlights how Jesus takes on all judgment and sin, inviting us to look upon him for healing.Understanding that belief in Christ is a gift allows us to experience the fullness of his work without feeling we need to add anything to it.Mentioned in this episode:Reclaim What's Real 5-Day JourneyThis FREE 5-day journey helps you silence the noise, reconnect with your soul, and rediscover the presence of God already dwelling within you.
