The crowded judgment seat

If you were to imagine Judgment day you may imagine God the Father on the judgment seat meeting out our just deserts and Jesus jumping in at certain points to shout 'this one is mine'. Perhaps you haven't been reading the Apostles' Creed, or your Bible because it will be Christ in the judgment seat.

"Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness." (Psalm 96:12-13)

"The Lord has taken his place to contend; he stands to judge peoples." (Isaiah 3:13)

"The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son" (John 5:22)

"And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that [Jesus] is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead." (Acts 10:42)

"he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead." (Acts 17:31)

"Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead" (2 Timothy 4:1)

But wait a moment! Perhaps it is still not that simple. For if you really were reading your bible you would find out that the Church will be occupying the judgment seat too!

"the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom." (Daniel 7:22)

"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'" (Matthew 19:28)

"do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!" (1 Corinthians 6:2-3)

"Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years." (Revelation 20:4)

• How do you fit these passages into your understanding of Judgment day?
• How do you fit these passage into your understanding of your justification?
• How do you fit these passages into your understanding of the Trinity?
• How do you fit these passages into your understanding of what you are saved too?
• How do you fit these passages into your understanding of passages such as 'Judge not, that you be not judged' (Matthew 7:1; cf. Romans 14:13)? (perhaps 1 Corinthians 4:5 offers a clue)
