In this week’s lesson, The Resurrection of the Just and Unjust, John Mulligan taught plainly what Scripture reveals about the universal resurrection and the two eternal outcomes. Jesus Himself said, “All who are in the graves will hear His voice”—some to life, others to condemnation (John 5:24–29). Paul confirmed it: there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked (Acts 24:15). Like an honest doctor giving a hard diagnosis so treatment can begin, Scripture speaks truth so we’ll respond before it’s too late.
Same event, different destinies. We will all stand before Christ’s judgment seat to receive what is due for deeds done in the body (2 Cor 5:10). For those in Christ, death does not erase hope—“the dead in Christ will rise,” and the living will be caught up with them to be with the Lord forever (1 Thess 4:13–18). For those who refuse God and do not obey the gospel, the future is “everlasting destruction” and being shut out from the Lord’s presence (2 Thess 1:5–10). The difference isn’t luck; it’s our response to Jesus.
How to respond—and help others. Now is the time to move from death to life: believe, confess Jesus as Lord, repent, and be baptized for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Stay with Jesus and keep serving—your labor isn’t in vain. Pray for loved ones who’ve resisted; ask God to open their hearts. There’s a great day coming, and it will be experienced differently—choose the path that leads to life with the Lord forever.
