Matthew 7: 1-6 full reading Matthew 7
Be Careful About Criticizing Others
"Don’t judge others, and God will not judge you. If you judge others, you will be
judged the same way you judge them. God will treat you the same way you treat
others. Why do you notice the small piece of dust that is in your friend’s eye, but you don’t
notice the big piece of wood that is in your own? Why do you say to your friend, ‘Let
me take that piece of dust out of your eye’? Look at yourself first! You still have that
big piece of wood in your own eye. You are a hypocrite! First, take the wood out of
your own eye. Then you will see clearly to get the dust out of your friend’s eye".
As Christians how easy can it be to judge and criticize others when we know we have so
many failings ourselves?
But does that leave us with the difficulty of deciding what is judgement?
