Estudo de Atos 17:31 – Comentado e Explicado

Porquanto fixou o dia em que há de julgar o mundo com justiça, pelo ministério de um homem que para isso destinou. Para todos deu como garantia disso o fato de tê-lo ressuscitado dentre os mortos.
Atos 17:31

Comentário de Albert Barnes

Porque ele designou um dia – Isso é dado como uma razão pela qual Deus ordena que as pessoas se arrependam. Eles devem ser julgados; e se não forem penitentes e perdoados, devem ser condenados. Veja as notas em Romanos 2:16.

Julgue o mundo – o mundo inteiro – judeus e gentios.

Em justiça – De acordo com os princípios da justiça estrita.

A quem ele ordenou – Ou a quem ele constituiu ou nomeou como juiz. Veja as notas de Atos 10:42; João 5:25 notas.

Ele deu garantia – forneceu evidências disso. Essa evidência consiste em:

(1) No fato de Jesus ter declarado que julgaria as nações João 5: 25-26; Mateus 25 ; e,

(2) Deus confirmou a verdade de suas declarações levantando-o dentre os mortos, ou deu sua sanção ao que o Senhor Jesus havia dito, pois Deus não operaria um milagre a favor de um impostor.

Comentário de John Calvin

–

31. Because he hath appointed a day. He maketh mention of the last judgment, that he may awake them out of their dream. For we know how hard a matter it is for men to deny themselves. Therefore, they must be violently enforced unto repentance, which cannot be done better than when they be cited to appear before God’s judgment-seat, and that fearful judgment is set before them, which they may neither despise nor escape. Therefore, let us remember that the doctrine of repentance doth then take place, when men, who would naturally desire to flatter themselves, are awaked with fear of God’s judgment and that none are fit teachers of the gospel but those who are the criers or apparitors of the highest Judge, who bring those who are to come the Judge to plead their cause, and denounce the judgment hanging over their heads, even as if it were in their own hand. Neither is this added in vain, in righteousness, or righteously. For though all men in the world confess that God is a just Judge, yet we see how they, for the most part, pamper and flatter themselves; for they will not suffer God to demand an account farther than their knowledge and understanding doth reach. Therefore, Paul’s meaning is, that men do profit themselves nothing by vain flattery; because they shall not prejudice God’s justice by this means, which showeth that all that is an abomination before God which seemeth goodly in the sight of men, because he will not follow the decrees of men, but that form which himself hath appointed. –

By the man whom he hath appointed. It is not to be doubted but that Paul spake more largely concerning Christ, that the Athenians might know that he is the Son of God, by whom salvation was brought to the world, and who had all power given him in heaven and earth; otherwise this speech, which we read here, should have had but small force to persuade. But Luke thought it sufficient to gather the sum of the sermon briefly. Yet is it to be thought that Paul spake first concerning the grace of Christ and that he did first preach him to be the Redeemer of men, before he made him a Judge. But because Christ is oftentimes contemned, when he offereth himself to be a Redeemer, Paul denounceth that he will once sharply punish such wicked contempt, because the whole world must be judged by him. The word [ ????e?? ] may be referred, as well unto the secret counsel of God, as unto external manifestation. Yet because the former exposition is more common, I do willingly embrace the same; to wit, that God, by his eternal decree, hath ordained his Son to be the Judge of the world; and that to the end the reprobate, who refuse to be ruled by Christ, may learn that they strive but in vain against the decree of God, which cannot be broken. But because nothing seemeth more strange to men, than that God shall judge in the person of man, Paul addeth afterward, that dignity of Christ, which were hard to be believed, was approved by his resurrection. –

The will of God alone ought to be so reverenced among us, that every man for himself subscribe to his decrees without delay. Because the cloak and color of ignorance useth oftentimes to be objected, therefore Paul saith plainly, that Christ was by his resurrection openly showed to be the Judge of the world, and that that was revealed to the eyes of men, which God had before determined with himself concerning him. For that point of doctrine, which Luke toucheth briefly in few words, was handled by Paul at large. He said not only in a word that Christ rose from death, but he did also intreat of the power of his resurrection as was meet. For to what end did Christ rise, but that he might be the first fruits of those which rise again? ( 1 Corinthians 15:23 .) And to what end shall we rise again, but either to life or death? Whereupon it followeth, that Christ by his resurrection is declared and proved to be the Judge of the world. –

Comentário de Adam Clarke

Ele designou um dia – Ele fixou o tempo em que julgará o mundo, embora não tenha revelado esse tempo ao homem.

Por aquele homem a quem ele ordenou – Ele também nomeou o juiz, por quem os habitantes da terra devem ser julgados.

Sobre o que ele deu garantia – ????? pa?as??? pas?? , Tendo dado a toda essa prova indubitável, que Jesus Cristo julgará o mundo, ressuscitando-o dentre os mortos. O sentido do argumento é o seguinte: “Jesus Cristo, a quem pregamos como Salvador dos homens, repetidamente disse a seus seguidores que julgaria o mundo; e nos descreveu, em geral, todo o processo daquela terrível tempo, Mateus 25:31 , etc .. João 5:25 . Embora ele tenha sido morto pelos judeus, e assim se tornou vítima do pecado, Deus ainda o ressuscitou dentre os mortos. colocou seu selo nas doutrinas que ensinou: uma dessas doutrinas é que ele deve julgar o mundo; sua ressurreição, estabelecida pela evidência mais incontestável, é, portanto, uma prova, uma prova incontestável de que ele deve julgar o mundo; de acordo com sua própria declaração “.

Comentário de John Wesley

Porque ele designou um dia em que julgará o mundo em retidão por aquele homem a quem ele ordenou; do que deu segurança a todos os homens, na medida em que o ressuscitou dentre os mortos.

Ele designou um dia em que julgará o mundo – Quão adequadamente ele fala isso, em sua suprema corte de justiça? Pelo homem – Então ele fala, adequando-se à capacidade de seus ouvintes.

Do que ele deu segurança a todos os homens, na medida em que o ressuscitou dentre os mortos – Deus ressuscitando Jesus demonstrou por meio deste, que ele deveria ser o glorioso juiz de todos. Não devemos imaginar que isso foi tudo o que o apóstolo pretendia ter dito, mas a indolência de alguns de seus ouvintes e a petulância de outros o interromperam.
