| ### QUESTION 59 ### OF CHRIST'S JUDICIARY POWER ###  |

| #### Prologue |

| #### #### We have now to consider Christ's judiciary power. Under this head there are six points of inquiry: #### (1) Whether judiciary power is to be attributed to Christ? #### (2) Whether it belongs to Him as man? #### (3) Whether He acquired it by merits? #### (4) Whether His judiciary power is universal with regard to all men? #### (5) Whether besides the judgment that takes place now in time, we are to expect Him in the future general judgment? #### (6) Whether His judiciary power extends likewise to the angels? #### It will be more suitable to consider the execution of the Last Judgment when we treat of things pertaining to the end of the world [XP, Questions 88, seqq.]. For the present it will be enough to touch on those points that concern Christ's dignity. ####  |
