Matthew 7:2 “For with what judgment ye
judge, us shall be judged; and what measure you mete, it shall be measured to
you again.”
Pretty sobering words. The way I judge others
will come back to me in judgment, except that judgement will be an eternal one.
This verse alone should be enough of an encouragement not to appraise the behavior
of others, and yet I falter. Chambers says, “This statement is not a haphazard
guess, it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgement you give; it is measured
to you again.”
Especially for such a time as this, we as
believers must strive to live and lead with compassion and understanding. We
must model non-judgmental behavior in both word and deed. We must truly love
others, for love conquers judgement. How do I want to represent Jesus in this
world? If we all would ask ourselves this question more often, we would regain
our focus and help to heal this hurting world.
