Seeing and Goodness - Part 2: Here Comes the Judge

In this second installment, we delve into God's divine 'judgment' as a manifestation of His deep love for creation. The act of 'seeing' and declaring 'good'-ness in Genesis 1 sets the stage for understanding Jesus as the compassionate judge, mirroring the divine pattern. Explore how 'good' in God's eyes doesn't mean perfection but purpose, aligning with His original intent.
