Back at you!
Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this day: I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you in Jesus name, amen. We thank God for His words which are spirit and life. Knowing that Jesus says that those who hear the Word of God and practice them, are like those who build their houses on the rock. Now one of the things that Jesus spoke to us about, was against judging others. Yup yup, that word – judging. Now, the dictionary says to judge is to:
- To pass legal judgment on; pass sentence on (a person): The court judged him guilty
- To hear evidence or legal arguments in (a case) in order to pass judgment; adjudicate; try: The Supreme Court is judging that case
- To form a judgment or opinion of; decide upon critically: You can’t judge a book by its cover
- To decide or settle authoritatively; adjudge: The censor judged the book obscene and forbade its sale
- To infer, think, or hold as an opinion; conclude about or assess: He judged her to be correct
- To make a careful guess about; estimate: We judged the distance to be abut four miles
- (of the ancient Hebrew judges) to govern (source: www.dictionary.com)
In particular, Jesus said:
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7v1&2
Haven’t you heard of situations whereby people turn and say to another person that – were you not the same person who said …. Perhaps, that person had been quite vocal in criticizing and condemning another person. The same measure by which you judge others, it will be measured to you as well. Also, you find that even in your own spirit, sometimes when you have condemned someone for doing something, if you do that thing, you feel bad, because you have already judged someone else.
In conclusion, judge not, that you too will not be judged. Yup, your judgment comes right back at you.
Have a wonderful day.
N.B: If you are thinking, Lord, how can I then not judge others. In our own strength it will be hard. But through Him, we can. Because we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, and He has asked that we cast all our cares on Him for He cares for us; and He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous to fall (1 Peter 5v7; Psalm 55v22). So give that habit or tendency to Him as well and ask Him to help you in that area. You don’t have to be distraught, just sincere with Him, and depend on Him. The Bible says the Lord is near unto all those that call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145v18)
