Mathew 7: Judging Others

I think we are all guilty of judging others. It seems easier to see what everyone else is doing wrong or unjust than see what we are doing wrong ourselves. In Mathew 7, Jesus states so clearly, "Do not judge, or you too will be judge. For in the same way you judge others, you wil be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." So you will will be judged in the same manner that you judged someone else.

Also Jesus asks, "Why do you look at the speick of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Many times we are so worried about what the next man is doing that we overlook and ignore our flaws, our sins, and our wrongdoings. First we must examine ourselves and get ourselves together before turning and judging someone else. Jesus even calls those that act in this manner a "hypocrite". Do not try to fix someone else's problems before you fix your own.

Jesus tells us not to be a hypocrite and not to judge others. Be concerned only with yourself and your own actions of faith.
