sermonette: Judge Not, That You Be Not Judged (Part One)

Juding the World
Ryan McClure
Given 20-Aug-16; Sermon #1337s; 15 minutes

Description: (hide)

If we are summoned to serve on a jury, how would we respond? Jesus Christ has counseled us that we should not judge lest we be judged, or that we should not condemn lest we be condemned. Jesus Christ came to save the world, not to condemn it. Only God has the ability to look on the hearts; as mortal human beings, we do not yet have this capability. That is why we should not judge those who are in the world. Our current responsibility consists of discerning godly versus worldly conduct, applying those standards to our own conduct—not to assess somebody else's spirituality or turpitude. What if we judge or condemn when Jesus Christ has given forgiveness? Ultimate judgment is reserved for Jesus Christ. God Himself gave Christ that responsibility.
