What does Jesus mean by saying He came for judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus came into the world to reveal the truth and discern those who are His own from those who are not.

In John 9:39, Jesus expresses that He came into the world for judgment, meaning that His presence exposes spiritual blindness and reveals the state of the heart. Those who genuinely seek Him and acknowledge their blindness are granted sight and salvation, while those who proudly claim to see remain blind to their need for Him. This notion of judgment emphasizes the dichotomy between light and darkness, truth and falsehood, and reveals how God’s grace operates in bringing the lost into the light through Christ.
