To the Rapport Daily Edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.

You should not judge other people. That is the claim that our culture loves to make. And they'll even quote Matthew 7, verse 1. And Matthew 7, verse 1 says, Judge not that you be not judged. And that is correct.

That is what that verse says. Except they don't continue reading. Never read just a Bible verse. Keep reading to get the context. Judge not that you be not judged. For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged.

And with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but do not see the log in your own eye? The whole issue that you see Jesus raising here is not that we should not judge other people.

He's actually going on in verses 2 and 3 to explain the standard of judgment. That would make absolutely no sense if he's telling us that we shouldn't judge others ever. No, he's raising the issue that when we judge others, it is the question of the standard.

You will never find a Bible verse anywhere that says we should not judge other people other than by the standard that we judge. It's always an issue of the standard of judgment. So, judge not that you be not judged is referring to the Pharisees that were judging the lost sinners and judging them by a standard that they don't hold themselves to.

And Jesus is saying, by the standard you judge others, that's the standard you judge yourself.
