Do not judge others,
and you will not be judged. 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
7:1-2
With the latest news headlines, I wanted to write today
about the dangers of judgment. We must
be careful when we judge others, because we simply may not know or understand
all of the facts or circumstances. I
have had my fair share of people make unfair evaluations about me and I know
that I have done the same to others.
Before we jump to conclusions about others, it helps to
recall the hurt we have experienced in the past when we were wrongly
judged. It helps us to avoid looking at
people through a negative filter that gives us a distorted point of view.
It’s when we see others as Jesus sees them-as God’s
children-that we begin to offer grace and mercy rather than judgment.
