- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we start to look at Matthew chapter 7, verse 1, the verse that so many use to say that we shouldn't judge other people.
- 01:23
- They say, judge not that you be not judged. And yet they ignore that in verse 2, he goes on to state how to judge others.
- 01:30
- And the issue he's raising is not that we shouldn't judge people, but we shouldn't be hypocrites in the fact that we hold people to a standard we don't hold ourselves.
- 01:40
- He makes it really clear in verses 3 to 5, where he says, why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
- 01:52
- You hypocrite. First take the log out of your eyes so you can see clearly, and take the speck out of your brother's eye.
- 01:58
- The issue he was addressing is the Pharisees that were so quick to measure everyone else as being wrong and sinful and unrighteous, and yet they refused to look at themselves and hold themselves to the same standard that they're holding others.
- 02:15
- The issue that Jesus was raising in Matthew chapter 7 is not the issue that we shouldn't judge other people.
- 02:22
- No, he's actually saying we should judge other people because he goes on to give us the standard of judgment.
- 02:28
- He's saying that we shouldn't judge as hypocrites. When we judge others, we should be holding ourselves to the same standard that we hold others to.
- 02:36
- It's very easy to see wrong in other people, even though we may do far worse than they do, because we don't look at what we do as wrong and we accept what we're doing.
- 02:46
- This is what he's addressing, the hypocrisy that he sees in the Pharisees. Don't judge as a hypocrite.
