THE SIN WE ALL INDULGE IN Matthew 7:1-6 Jesus was admonishing His disciples on the sermon on the mount in the way we as His followers are to behave in our treatment of one another as citizens of His Kingdom. And Jesus Himself is our best representative of this kind of living of not judging others. He shows us by His life and by His speech how important it is to link what we say with the way we live.We all have met and known those who were always judging and criticizing others.Jesus is telling us that when we sit in judgment on others we are assuming a responsibility that has not been given us. To judge others is to assume a responsibility that is reserved only for God. I can also say with certainty that everyone whom God has placed in your life needs your encouragement. And if they’re not where they need to be — spiritually or professionally or personally — then your challenge is to get involved and help them take the next steps in the right direction. Be the voice in their life that says, I’m not here to knock you down, I’m here to lift you up.
