Matthew 7: 1-2- Judging Others
Matthew 7: 1-2- We make a large number of assumptions in our lives. We make assumptions about oth er people based on how they live their lives and their everyday actions. Some people validate our assumptions very quickly. Many times, we do not know a person’s whole story, yet we judge them based on the information we have, not necessarily all the information. Jesus is telling us to guard against judgin g others. In verses 1 and 2 Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment, you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.” Je sus is telling us to let Him be the one who established the standard for judging a person’s actions. There are many things in the Bible that is clear in how sin is defined but Jesus is the One who determines and defines sin, and He will be the one who holds people accountable for their sins. He will hold us accountable for our sins.
