Song # 769.2 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. We read in the Book of Luke in chapter 6 that Jesus tells us not to judge others. We are all sinners, and often cannot see our own faults, and being unrighteous, we should not condemn others.
Jesus said “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6:37). “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). Jesus also told this parable “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?” (Luke 6:39). “A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” (Luke 6:41). “How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye” (Luke 6:42).
Thought for today: eyes of faith see God’s work.
Thought for the future: having God within, is far better than being without God. Where will you spend your eternity?
