Jesus again reminds us that being forgiven by God calls us to forgive others. Judging is only God's job, our job is to direct any criticism at ourselves first and then, very carefully and only when necessary, dare to help others see their faults. It's often much easier to see what others are doing "wrong," but when we do that we're probably missing something at least as major wrong with our own life that keeps us from seeing our neighbor clearly.
God bless,
Sam
Matthew 7:1-5
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. 2For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. 3Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye.
