When Judgement Comes to Church: Part 2 - Kevan Grinwis

In His famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns us to avoid judgment toward others. We’ve all heard it a million times, right? “Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself…” But why? Was it because He was concerned about our lack of discernment – our ability to see the error in our fellow man? That seems unlikely, since He mentions just a few short paragraphs later, that we will be able to recognize false prophets by their fruit. So then, if we don’t have a discernment problem why is judgement to be avoided? The answer to this question seems to be found in that He was not speaking of discernment or observation alone, but something more.

This week, Kevan will continue to unpack these verses and more, discussing what Jesus really meant when He used the term “judgement” and why we should avoid this practice, as well as providing some practical tools that we can use to walk this out in our everyday dealings with those around us.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye“

Matthew 7.1-5 NKJV
