Judgment

Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

John 8
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

Many people justify what Jesus said here to judge others. It is important to remember what Christ says in Matt. 7:2. The judgments that we place on others will come back to us.

If Christ judges no man after the flesh, it is my feeling that we should withhold judgment unless we are absolutely justified and know the whole story as it is difficult to understand the whole story and what is in the hearts of others.
