God’s Word on Judgement ... We find it so easy to pass judgement on people that we know absolutely nothing about. We judge them on their appearance, how they talk, how they live, what they eat, how they raise their kids, how many children they have etc. Jesus summed it up perfectly in Matthew 7:1-5 - “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Leave the judgement of others to God. You do not know the road that they are walking on or the trials they face. Rather concentrate on loving people as Jesus loves us. Page 24
