Question 52

API: GET /api/v1/documents/heidelberg/questions/52

What comfort is it to thee that “Christ shall come again to judge the quick and the dead?”

That in all my sorrows and persecutions, with uplifted head I look for the very same person, who before offered himself for my sake, to the tribunal of God, and hath removed all curse from me, to come as judge from heaven:^a who shall cast all his and my enemies into everlasting condemnation,^b but shall translate me with all his chosen ones to himself, into heavenly joys and glory.^c
