Message: The Gospel according to Matthew
Text: Matthew 7:1-6
Clear Eyes
To judge is to realize the difference.
To be judgmental is to believe you are superior because of the difference.
Oswald Chamber, “Whenever you are in a critical temper, it is impossible to enter into communion with God. Criticism makes you hard and vindictive and cruel, and leaves you with the flattering idea that you are a superior person…a critical spectator…I never met a person I could despair of after realizing all that lies in me apart from the grace of God.”
To be able to judge works both ways. Which is more obvious, the speck or the plank?
Let us all have clear eyes.
