Judgement!

 Dear Christ followers, it is so easy to sit in judgement on others.  But it is as Jesus, first we need to take the plank out of our own eyes before we can see the splinter in another's eye.

But there is righteous judgement, where we are called upon to behave as Jesus would have done.

Consider the woman at the well.  Jesus knew exactly who she was before she even addressed him.

And no, He did not judge her, but He did call her to order.

In exactly the same way, when we see someone sinning, we need to call their attention to this.  But we should expect that when we sin, that same person will call us to order.

Being a bondservant of Jesus Christ comes with a responsibility.  That responsibility is to make us better servants to Jesus.  We cannot take that responsibility lightly.  We need to be willing to call others to order, but we also need to be willing to be called to order ourselves.

I am not talking about judgement.  If we judge, with the same measure, we shall be judged.  I am talking about admonition. 

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU for YOUR grace and favour which has freed me from my sinful self.  FATHER, where I continue to sin, give me people in my life who gently reprove me and where I see others sinning, give me the wisdom to gently bring them back to order.  I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!
