For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.

Matthew 7:2

Jesus offers a powerful motivator against hypocritical judgement: You will be judged in the same way you judge others.

We break this command when we

• think the worst of others.
• only speak to others of their faults.
• judge an entire life only by its worst moments.
• judge the hidden motives of others.
• we judge others without considering ourselves in their same circumstances.
• judge others without being mindful that we ourselves will be judged.

Handling the “judge lest you be judged” moments:

• Critically examine myself.
• Ask God to help you remove the speck from your eye.
• Carefully examine their fruit.
• Ask God how to show you how to demonstrate love, and grace without offering approval.

So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?
Luke 6:46

What a great question?

Be careful about how I judge others. Being judge and jury are two different things.
