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.
