"DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS, and you will not be judged. You will be treated as you treat others. The standard that you use for judging is the standard by which you will be judged."
No one reading this One Truth Today has the right to pick up a stone and cast it at another sinner! No one is good, no not one! Do not judge others harshly. The standard that you use to judge others is the one that will be used on yourself. If we are to be reasonable and emulate the Mercy of the Lord we have no alternative, when it come to others, then to avoid judging them at all. DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS, and you will not be judged. Why is it that we expect so much from others and so little from ourselves. The standard that you use for judging others is the standard by which you will be judged, oops! Judge not, lest you be judged!
Many times people criticize or condemn others for the way they look, or the country they come from. They are judging individuals without knowing any specific knowledge of the person. They are using bias and prejudice to make a conclusion that may be false and totally wrong. Many tend to prejudge entire categories of people and expose their ignorance and lack of reason. What if we were to reverse the process. How should others judge you? Do you want them to judge you by your sex, race, religion or appearance? Every person is an individual who makes individual choices and they can not be lumped together as though all people are the same. Get to know people individually, DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS!
All black people are not the same. All Republicans are not the same. All Muslims are not the same! We have to be careful how we judge them or criticize them and especially if we condemn them. The standard that we use will be used against us. Better yet avoid judgements at all. We need to treat everyone as an individual. Treat every neighbor or fellow man the same as you want them to treat you. If you do not want bias and prejudice used against you then you can not use them against others. DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS! Judge not least you be judged is the lesson from the scripture today, have you learned it and have you put it into use in your life? Remember God is the Judge, we are not!
