Transcript
- 0:00Please take out your copy of God's Word and join me in Matthew chapter 7.
- 0:05! Our text for this morning is Matthew chapter 7 verses 1 through 6.
- 0:09! Thank you for that prayer, Reese.
- 0:12I started to preach the text in that prayer.
- 0:15I used to say, just take it, man. Just go with it.
- 0:20Matthew chapter 7 and verse 1 is one of the most misused verses in the Bible.
- 0:30Previously mentioned book that I'm going to give out.
- 0:32This is the first chapter.
- 0:34This is the first verse that he decides to tackle in that book of misused verses in the Bible.
- 0:43Judge not that you be not judged.
- 0:48People love to quote this verse.
- 0:51Most often in an attempt to quiet those who would speak about the sin in their lives or in the lives of others.
- 1:00What is meant by judge?
- 1:05People make judgments all the time.
- 1:08Right?
- 1:09Decisions about things.
- 1:11Deciding one thing better than another thing.
- 1:15If we isolate this verse and take it at its face,
- 1:21as many would attempt to do,
- 1:23we can't have courts.
- 1:24I can't determine one food item better than another food item.
- 1:31We make judgments.
- 1:33This is a thing we do.
- 1:34Right?
- 1:35This verse is never cited to quiet our opinions
- 1:39concerning how a particular athlete or team is performing.
- 1:43Ever watch the game with a friend and call a bad call?
- 1:48A friend says,
- 1:51Judge not that you be not judged.
- 1:56It's never cited to quiet your view of a particular movie or show.
- 2:02I just didn't like it.
- 2:03It was just to judge not that you be not judged.
- 2:07So people make decisions about how they want to use this verse, don't they?
- 2:13It doesn't apply unilaterally.
- 2:17When people misuse this verse,
- 2:18they are most often saying,
- 2:21I like the way that I am living.
- 2:24And who do you think you are to tell me I am wrong?
- 2:28The Greek word here translated judge means to separate, choose, select, or determine.
- 2:39It's a complex word with a dozen or more shades of meaning
- 2:46that have to be determined by the context.
- 2:51We have to determine from the context.
- 2:53What did Jesus mean when he said,
- 2:57Judge not that you be not judged?
- 3:00How do we understand what it is he's driving at?
- 3:05And so that's why we'll labor today
- 3:07to rightly understand what Jesus meant
- 3:09by looking at the teaching accompanying this
- 3:13most misused of verses.
- 3:18Matthew 7, verses 1-6.
- 3:20This is God's word to us.
- 3:25It was written for his glory and our good.
- 3:28And we would all do well to listen to it
- 3:30in order to believe its promises
- 3:32and obey its commands.
- 3:37Judge not that you be not judged.
- 3:41For with the judgment you pronounce,
- 3:43you will be judged.
- 3:44And with the measure you use it,
- 3:45will be measured to you.
- 3:48Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye,
- 3:50but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
- 3:53Or how can you say to your brother,
- 3:56let me take the speck out of your eye
- 3:58when there is the log in your own eye?
- 4:01You hypocrite.
- 4:03First take the log out of your own eye
- 4:05and then you will see clearly
- 4:06to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
- 4:09Do not give dogs what is holy
- 4:12and do not throw your pearls before pigs,
- 4:15lest they trample them underfoot
- 4:18and turn to attack you.
- 4:23By following verse 1 with a reading through verse 6,
- 4:28we can see already
- 4:29that Jesus cannot possibly mean
- 4:32that we are not ever to judge anything
- 4:35as He, in this text alone,
- 4:39passes judgment on the type of people
- 4:41who judge wrongly.
- 4:43At the beginning of verse 5,
- 4:45He says,
- 4:47you hypocrite.
- 4:49This is a statement of judgment.
- 4:51He's separating out.
- 4:53He's categorizing a person
- 4:56who doesn't judge appropriately
- 4:58and declaring them hypocritical.
- 5:03Further, we will see in the coming weeks
- 5:06more judgment in chapter 7.
- 5:08We are warned away from false prophets
- 5:12who evidence themselves by their fruit
- 5:14in verses 15 through 20.
- 5:17How are we to judge
- 5:19whether a person is a true prophet
- 5:21or a false prophet?
- 5:23By their fruit.
- 5:27Jesus declares,
- 5:29in a day of judgment,
- 5:30those He never knew
- 5:32workers of lawlessness
- 5:35in verses 21 through 23.
- 5:38They say to Him,
- 5:39but Lord, Lord, we did this
- 5:40and we did this.
- 5:41And He says,
- 5:41depart from Me
- 5:42for I never knew you.
- 5:44And He declares them,
- 5:45He judges them,
- 5:46workers of lawlessness.
- 5:50And finally,
- 5:51in chapter 7,
- 5:51verses 24 through 27,
- 5:53we see a man
- 5:54who built his house on the rock
- 5:55and a man who built his house
- 5:57on the sand.
- 5:59And the storm that comes
- 6:01is the storm of judgment.
- 6:04One man's house stands
- 6:06and the other falls.
- 6:10In fact,
- 6:10the entirety of the Sermon on the Mount
- 6:12is meant to distinguish
- 6:14what citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven
- 6:17will look like.
- 6:18It is meant to instruct
- 6:19and to judge
- 6:20those claiming to be
- 6:22worshipers of God.
- 6:25And we have seen this
- 6:26as we have worked our way through.
- 6:28How are people
- 6:29who belong to God's Kingdom
- 6:31characterized?
- 6:32True worshipers
- 6:33versus false worshipers.
- 6:37Much of chapter 6
- 6:39of the Sermon on the Mount
- 6:40is an indictment
- 6:42against the Pharisees.
- 6:44Jesus has in mind,
- 6:45don't be like those
- 6:47who claim to be worshipers
- 6:49of God in this way.
- 6:51And He's constantly correcting.
- 6:52He's constantly changing
- 6:54the way they think.
- 6:58John MacArthur
- 6:59in his commentary
- 6:59on this text said,
- 7:01the entire thrust
- 7:02of the Sermon on the Mount
- 7:03is to show
- 7:04the complete distinction
- 7:05between true religion
- 7:06and false religion,
- 7:08between spiritual truth
- 7:09and spiritual hypocrisy.
- 7:12Jesus places
- 7:13God's perfect
- 7:13and holy standards
- 7:14beside the unholy
- 7:17and self-righteous standards
- 7:18of the scribes
- 7:19and Pharisees
- 7:20and declares
- 7:21that those who follow
- 7:22those unholy
- 7:23and righteous standards
- 7:24have no part
- 7:25in God's Kingdom.
- 7:28No more controversial
- 7:30or judgmental sermon
- 7:31has ever been preached.
- 7:36And how dare anybody
- 7:38say to Jesus,
- 7:39judge not,
- 7:42lest you be judged.
- 7:45So Jesus was a judge
- 7:47and Jesus will be
- 7:50the final judge,
- 7:53the ultimate judge.
- 7:55And so you may say to me
- 7:58at this point,
- 7:59well, he's Jesus.
- 8:02He was and is
- 8:04God incarnate
- 8:06and so it's okay
- 8:07that he judges
- 8:09but not okay
- 8:10for us
- 8:11to judge.
- 8:13And I would respond,
- 8:15that's fair,
- 8:17but let's look elsewhere
- 8:18for a moment
- 8:19and then
- 8:20we will take a hard look
- 8:21at Jesus' teaching
- 8:22in Matthew 7,
- 8:23verses 1-6.
- 8:26What Paul said
- 8:27in Galatians,
- 8:29chapter 1,
- 8:30verse 8,
- 8:30says,
- 8:32but even if we
- 8:33or an angel from heaven
- 8:34should preach to you
- 8:35a gospel contrary
- 8:36to the one
- 8:36we preach to you,
- 8:38let him be
- 8:39accursed.
- 8:42Judge the teaching
- 8:43of those who will
- 8:43come to you
- 8:44and teach
- 8:44against the pure gospel,
- 8:47the gospel that we've
- 8:47already proclaimed to you.
- 8:49Judge whether or not
- 8:50it's consistent with that
- 8:51and if it's not,
- 8:53let them be
- 8:54kicked out of the church.
- 8:55That's what he's saying.
- 8:56Paul says this.
- 8:58John said in 2 John,
- 9:00verses 10 and 11,
- 9:02not chapter 10,
- 9:02excuse me,
- 9:032 John,
- 9:03verses 10 and 11,
- 9:06if anyone comes to you
- 9:07and does not bring
- 9:08this teaching,
- 9:10do not receive him
- 9:11into your house
- 9:11or give him
- 9:12any greeting
- 9:13for whoever greets him
- 9:14takes part
- 9:16in his wicked works.
- 9:19Once again,
- 9:20judge his teaching
- 9:22against the teaching
- 9:22that you have received.
- 9:26And another place,
- 9:28the author of Hebrews
- 9:29said in Hebrews 5
- 9:30and verse 14,
- 9:33but solid food
- 9:34is for the mature,
- 9:36for those who have
- 9:37their powers of discernment
- 9:39trained by constant practice
- 9:42to distinguish,
- 9:44to judge,
- 9:45good from evil.
- 9:48So we are instructed
- 9:49as the church
- 9:50to be about
- 9:51the work
- 9:52of judgment,
- 9:54but a particular kind
- 9:56of judgment.
- 9:59We can see
- 10:00in our text today
- 10:01three types
- 10:02of judging.
- 10:04One is condemned,
- 10:06the other two
- 10:07are commended,
- 10:08and they'll form
- 10:09our outline
- 10:09for today.
- 10:11So the first
- 10:13type of judging
- 10:15that we see
- 10:15is unloving,
- 10:20hypocritical judgment.
- 10:23Unloving,
- 10:25hypocritical judgment.
- 10:27Much of the text
- 10:28this morning
- 10:29is concerned with this.
- 10:30Verse 1
- 10:30through the very beginning
- 10:31of verse 5.
- 10:34I'll read it to you
- 10:35one more time.
- 10:36Judge not,
- 10:37that you be not judged.
- 10:38For with the judgment
- 10:39you pronounce
- 10:40you will be judged,
- 10:41and with the measure
- 10:42you use
- 10:42it will be measured
- 10:43to you.
- 10:45Why do you see
- 10:46the speck
- 10:46that is in your
- 10:47brother's eye,
- 10:47but do not notice
- 10:48the log that is
- 10:49in your own eye?
- 10:50Or how can you say
- 10:51to your brother,
- 10:52let me take the speck
- 10:54out of your eye
- 10:55when there is
- 10:55the log
- 10:56in your own eye?
- 10:58You hypocrite.
- 11:01The type of judgment
- 11:02that Jesus speaks
- 11:04against
- 11:05is self-righteous,
- 11:07unloving,
- 11:08hypocritical judgment.
- 11:11The Pharisees
- 11:12were so full
- 11:13of this type
- 11:15of judgment.
- 11:16And let's call it
- 11:17for our purposes
- 11:18this morning,
- 11:19judgmentalism.
- 11:22Judgmentalism
- 11:22is characterized
- 11:25by an eagerness
- 11:27to find
- 11:28and point out
- 11:30others' faults.
- 11:31The Pharisees
- 11:33loved to do
- 11:35this work.
- 11:36They loved
- 11:37to show themselves
- 11:38to be more
- 11:40righteous
- 11:40than those
- 11:41who were
- 11:42around them.
- 11:44Judgmentalism
- 11:45is characterized
- 11:46by this.
- 11:48And we are guilty
- 11:49of this at times.
- 11:50Looking at others
- 11:51and rather than
- 11:52seeing their strengths,
- 11:53trying to identify
- 11:54their weaknesses
- 11:55as quickly as possible
- 11:56and to point
- 11:57those things
- 11:58out.
- 12:00Seeking that we
- 12:01would look
- 12:01better in front
- 12:02of other people
- 12:03and feel better
- 12:05about ourselves
- 12:05than others.
- 12:08Comparison,
- 12:09beloved,
- 12:09is the death
- 12:10of holiness.
- 12:13Judgmentalism
- 12:13is characterized
- 12:14by this eagerness
- 12:15to find
- 12:15and point out
- 12:16others' faults.
- 12:19Judgmentalism
- 12:20is also characterized
- 12:21by an assumption
- 12:22of motives.
- 12:25The Pharisees
- 12:26were,
- 12:26and we can be
- 12:27so very quick
- 12:29to see an action
- 12:30and assume
- 12:32what lies behind
- 12:33that action.
- 12:34Not know anything
- 12:35about the person
- 12:36or what's driving
- 12:37the decision
- 12:37that they're making,
- 12:38but to cast
- 12:39a quick
- 12:40and immediate
- 12:41judgment
- 12:41upon the thing
- 12:43that they are doing.
- 12:44And we do this
- 12:45with so many
- 12:45gray area issues.
- 12:48Things that we can't
- 12:49clearly point to
- 12:49and say,
- 12:50this is clearly sin,
- 12:51the Bible
- 12:52prohibits this activity,
- 12:54or this is clearly sin
- 12:56because they're not
- 12:56participating in the things
- 12:58that the Bible
- 12:58commands,
- 13:00but that's gray
- 13:02and we're very quick
- 13:03to apply
- 13:03our judgment
- 13:05to it
- 13:05by assuming
- 13:06the motives
- 13:08of it.
- 13:11Judgmentalism
- 13:11is also characterized
- 13:12by an unhealthy
- 13:14desire
- 13:15to share
- 13:16those faults
- 13:17with others.
- 13:19Having noted
- 13:20the faults,
- 13:22we're very quick
- 13:23to run around
- 13:23telling everybody else
- 13:24the fault,
- 13:25not for the edification
- 13:26of the person,
- 13:27but for the tearing
- 13:28down of that person.
- 13:30And this is the kind
- 13:32of judging
- 13:33that Jesus is speaking
- 13:34against.
- 13:37The log pictured
- 13:38here in this text
- 13:39was likely
- 13:41the main beam
- 13:42that was used
- 13:43to support the roof
- 13:44in the typical house
- 13:45of Jesus' day.
- 13:48You may not
- 13:49be aware of this,
- 13:50but in the Middle East,
- 13:50there wasn't just
- 13:51wood lying around.
- 13:53So these logs
- 13:54would have been
- 13:54imported in
- 13:55and would have been
- 13:56these big pieces
- 13:57of wood.
- 13:58So probably
- 13:58what's going on here
- 13:59when he's referring
- 14:00to this log
- 14:02or beam
- 14:03or moat,
- 14:04some of your
- 14:05texts may say,
- 14:06is this massive
- 14:08piece of wood
- 14:09that was meant
- 14:10to hold up
- 14:10the roof
- 14:11of the house.
- 14:12It was huge,
- 14:14typically about
- 14:1540 feet
- 14:16in length.
- 14:17the person
- 14:19with a log
- 14:20like this
- 14:21in their eye
- 14:21cannot see
- 14:22anything,
- 14:24much less
- 14:25even get close
- 14:26enough to another
- 14:27to remove
- 14:28the speck
- 14:29in their eye.
- 14:31And Jesus here
- 14:32is not trying
- 14:33to weigh out
- 14:34one sin
- 14:35over another sin.
- 14:37What he's trying
- 14:37to give us
- 14:38is this perspective
- 14:39we should have
- 14:40on our own sin
- 14:41before we ever
- 14:42think we could
- 14:43go to another
- 14:44and help them
- 14:45with theirs.
- 14:47Consider your sin
- 14:48to be a log.
- 14:50Consider everybody
- 14:51else's sin
- 14:51to be
- 14:52a speck.
- 14:55This type
- 14:57of judgmentalism
- 14:58was the activity
- 14:59of the Pharisees
- 15:01doing eye
- 15:02operations
- 15:03as blinded
- 15:04men.
- 15:06They could not
- 15:07see
- 15:07to do the work
- 15:08they were claiming
- 15:09to do.
- 15:11And sadly,
- 15:12this is the activity
- 15:13of many
- 15:13in our day
- 15:14and we are not
- 15:15above correction
- 15:16this morning.
- 15:20Listen to some
- 15:21of the woes
- 15:21that Jesus
- 15:22declares
- 15:23in Matthew
- 15:24chapter 23.
- 15:26This is beginning
- 15:26in verse 13
- 15:27and following.
- 15:30Jesus says,
- 15:30Woe to you
- 15:31scribes
- 15:32and Pharisees,
- 15:34hypocrites.
- 15:34Once again,
- 15:36this is a judgment
- 15:37he's making.
- 15:38For you shut
- 15:39the kingdom
- 15:40of heaven
- 15:41in people's faces
- 15:42for you
- 15:43neither
- 15:43enter yourselves
- 15:44nor allow
- 15:45those
- 15:46who would
- 15:46enter
- 15:47to go in.
- 15:48Declaring
- 15:49people
- 15:49unrighteous.
- 15:52Declaring
- 15:52people
- 15:53outside
- 15:53the grace
- 15:54of God.
- 15:56Judgmental.
- 15:59Woe
- 15:59to you
- 15:59scribes
- 16:01and Pharisees,
- 16:02hypocrites,
- 16:03for you
- 16:04travel across
- 16:04sea and land
- 16:05to make a
- 16:06single proselyte,
- 16:07a convert
- 16:08to Judaism,
- 16:09and when
- 16:09he becomes
- 16:10a proselyte,
- 16:11you make
- 16:11him twice
- 16:12as much
- 16:13a child
- 16:13of hell
- 16:14as yourselves.
- 16:17Building
- 16:18up self-righteousness
- 16:19in people.
- 16:20Building
- 16:21up this
- 16:21idea
- 16:22of self-defense.
- 16:24Bearing
- 16:25gladly
- 16:26the logs
- 16:26in our own
- 16:27eyes
- 16:27and pointing
- 16:28out all
- 16:29the time
- 16:29the specks
- 16:30in others.
- 16:33Jesus
- 16:34tells a
- 16:34parable
- 16:35of a
- 16:36scribe,
- 16:37a Pharisee,
- 16:39in Luke
- 16:39chapter 18,
- 16:40verse 9
- 16:41and following.
- 16:44Luke
- 16:44records this,
- 16:45he also
- 16:45told this
- 16:46parable
- 16:46to some
- 16:46who trusted
- 16:47in themselves
- 16:48that they
- 16:50were righteous,
- 16:50self-righteous,
- 16:51and treated
- 16:52others
- 16:53with contempt.
- 16:56Judgmentalism.
- 16:57Jesus
- 16:58said,
- 16:58two men
- 16:58up to the
- 17:00temple to
- 17:00pray,
- 17:00one a
- 17:01Pharisee
- 17:01and the
- 17:01other
- 17:02a tax
- 17:03collector.
- 17:03The
- 17:04Pharisee,
- 17:05standing
- 17:06by himself,
- 17:07prayed
- 17:07thus,
- 17:08God,
- 17:09I thank
- 17:09you that
- 17:09I am
- 17:10not like
- 17:10other
- 17:11men,
- 17:12extortioners,
- 17:13unjust,
- 17:14adulterers,
- 17:15or even
- 17:16like this
- 17:17tax collector.
- 17:18I fast
- 17:19twice a
- 17:20week,
- 17:20I give
- 17:20tithes
- 17:21of all
- 17:22that I
- 17:22get.
- 17:24But the
- 17:24tax collector,
- 17:25standing
- 17:25far off,
- 17:26would not
- 17:26even lift
- 17:27up his
- 17:27eyes
- 17:28to heaven.
- 17:29An act
- 17:30of shame.
- 17:31But he
- 17:32beat his
- 17:32breast,
- 17:33saying,
- 17:33God,
- 17:34be merciful
- 17:35to me,
- 17:36a sinner.
- 17:38I tell
- 17:39you,
- 17:39this man
- 17:39went down
- 17:40to his
- 17:40house
- 17:40justified
- 17:41rather than
- 17:42the other.
- 17:43For everyone
- 17:44who exalts
- 17:44himself will
- 17:45be humbled,
- 17:46but the
- 17:46one who
- 17:46humbles
- 17:47himself
- 17:47will be
- 17:49exalted.
- 17:51This type
- 17:52of judgment
- 17:53should not
- 17:55characterize
- 17:56us,
- 17:57beloved.
- 17:58It is
- 17:59informed
- 18:00by an
- 18:01improper
- 18:02view of
- 18:03God
- 18:04and the
- 18:05gospel.
- 18:07God has
- 18:08given to
- 18:09us a
- 18:09holy
- 18:09standard
- 18:10by which
- 18:11we
- 18:11should
- 18:12live.
- 18:13It's
- 18:13found in
- 18:14the moral
- 18:15law of the
- 18:16Old Testament.
- 18:17It's
- 18:18repeated
- 18:19for us
- 18:20again in
- 18:20the New
- 18:21Testament.
- 18:23It's
- 18:23taught to
- 18:24us here
- 18:25in the
- 18:25Sermon on
- 18:26the Mount.
- 18:26this is
- 18:27what you
- 18:27need to
- 18:28look like
- 18:29to be
- 18:29pleasing
- 18:29to God.
- 18:32And then
- 18:32he tells
- 18:33us at
- 18:33every turn
- 18:33that we
- 18:34are incapable
- 18:35of doing
- 18:36this work.
- 18:38And he
- 18:39doesn't
- 18:39stand
- 18:40judgmental
- 18:41over us
- 18:41for it,
- 18:42but he
- 18:42comes to
- 18:43us with
- 18:44graciousness.
- 18:45He comes
- 18:46to us
- 18:46kindly.
- 18:48He loves
- 18:49us and
- 18:50makes for
- 18:51us a
- 18:52way to
- 18:53be
- 18:53righteous
- 18:53in
- 18:55Christ.
- 18:56He sends
- 18:56his very
- 18:57son to
- 18:57come and
- 18:58to live
- 18:58a perfect
- 18:59life.
- 19:00Fulfilling,
- 19:01crossing every
- 19:02T and
- 19:03dotting every
- 19:03I of the
- 19:05law of God
- 19:05that we
- 19:06might have
- 19:07his
- 19:07righteousness
- 19:08and that
- 19:09he would
- 19:09take away
- 19:10all of
- 19:11our
- 19:12sinfulness.
- 19:14We have
- 19:15no space
- 19:16to be
- 19:17judgmental
- 19:17towards
- 19:18others.
- 19:19There is
- 19:20no reason
- 19:21for us
- 19:21if we
- 19:22rightly
- 19:23have a
- 19:23view
- 19:23of God
- 19:24and this
- 19:25gospel
- 19:25that has
- 19:26come to
- 19:26us.
- 19:27It should
- 19:28bring about
- 19:28great
- 19:29measures of
- 19:30humility
- 19:31and loving
- 19:32kindness
- 19:33towards
- 19:34others.
- 19:36But often
- 19:37this type of
- 19:38judgmentalism,
- 19:39this improper
- 19:40judgmentalism
- 19:41is informed
- 19:43by an
- 19:44improper view
- 19:44of ourselves.
- 19:47But we
- 19:47think far
- 19:49too much
- 19:49of ourselves.
- 19:51we
- 19:53need to
- 19:53stop
- 19:53and think
- 19:55for a
- 19:55moment
- 19:55how
- 19:56very,
- 19:56very
- 19:57deep
- 19:57your
- 19:58sin
- 19:58really
- 19:59is.
- 20:00What a
- 20:00self-worshipper
- 20:02you are.
- 20:05If you
- 20:06haven't
- 20:06already
- 20:07done that
- 20:07this morning,
- 20:08I hope
- 20:08by the
- 20:08end of
- 20:09this sermon
- 20:09you will
- 20:10have.
- 20:11Maybe
- 20:11already
- 20:12you're
- 20:12starting
- 20:12to see
- 20:13how
- 20:13very
- 20:13judgmental
- 20:14you can
- 20:14be
- 20:15at
- 20:15times.
- 20:16this
- 20:16is
- 20:16because
- 20:17of
- 20:18your
- 20:18great
- 20:19sinfulness.
- 20:21We
- 20:22ought
- 20:22to
- 20:22always
- 20:23view
- 20:23our
- 20:24sin
- 20:25as
- 20:25a
- 20:26great
- 20:26beam
- 20:27in
- 20:27our
- 20:27eye.
- 20:28We
- 20:29ought
- 20:29to
- 20:29always
- 20:30be
- 20:30humbled
- 20:31by
- 20:31that.
- 20:32And
- 20:32that
- 20:33should
- 20:33flavor
- 20:33how
- 20:34we
- 20:34relate
- 20:34to
- 20:35others
- 20:35who
- 20:35also
- 20:36find
- 20:36themselves
- 20:36in
- 20:37this
- 20:38position.
- 20:41And
- 20:41often
- 20:41it's
- 20:42informed
- 20:43by
- 20:44this
- 20:44improper
- 20:45judgmentalism
- 20:45is
- 20:46informed
- 20:46by
- 20:46an
- 20:46improper
- 20:47view
- 20:47of
- 20:49others.
- 20:50Improper
- 20:51view
- 20:51of
- 20:52others.
- 20:54I
- 20:54find
- 20:55far
- 20:55too
- 20:55often
- 20:55when
- 20:56I
- 20:56pick
- 20:57up
- 20:57this
- 20:58sin
- 20:58of
- 20:58judgmentalism
- 20:59it's
- 21:00because
- 21:00I
- 21:00don't
- 21:01really
- 21:01consider
- 21:02the
- 21:03eternal
- 21:04souls
- 21:04of
- 21:04other
- 21:04people.
- 21:06I'm
- 21:06more
- 21:07concerned
- 21:07about
- 21:07the
- 21:08immediacy
- 21:08of
- 21:09their
- 21:09action
- 21:09and
- 21:10how
- 21:10it
- 21:10offends
- 21:10me
- 21:11and
- 21:11my
- 21:11sensibilities
- 21:12than
- 21:14their
- 21:15eternal
- 21:15state
- 21:16and
- 21:17their
- 21:18worship
- 21:19of
- 21:19God.
- 21:21So we
- 21:22need to
- 21:22have a
- 21:23proper
- 21:23view of
- 21:23God
- 21:24and the
- 21:24gospel
- 21:24and
- 21:25ourselves
- 21:25and
- 21:26our
- 21:26others
- 21:27if
- 21:27we're
- 21:28to
- 21:28pick up
- 21:28the
- 21:29practice
- 21:29of
- 21:29judging
- 21:30as
- 21:31we
- 21:31should.
- 21:33So we
- 21:33want to
- 21:33avoid
- 21:34this.
- 21:34This
- 21:34type of
- 21:35judgmentalism
- 21:36should
- 21:36not
- 21:37characterize
- 21:37the
- 21:38church.
- 21:39This
- 21:39unloving
- 21:40hypocritical
- 21:41judgment.
- 21:43And this
- 21:44is the
- 21:45judge
- 21:46not
- 21:46lest
- 21:48you
- 21:48be
- 21:48judged
- 21:48that
- 21:49Jesus
- 21:49here
- 21:49is
- 21:50talking
- 21:50about.
- 21:51Much
- 21:51like
- 21:52back
- 21:52in
- 21:52the
- 21:53Lord's
- 21:53prayer
- 21:53when
- 21:53Jesus
- 21:54in
- 21:54verse
- 21:5412
- 21:54teaches
- 21:55us
- 21:55to
- 21:56pray
- 21:56and

- 21:57we
- 21:58also

- 22:01Our

- 22:04judgmentalism
- 22:05our
- 22:05proper
- 22:05understanding
- 22:06of God
- 22:07and the
- 22:07gospel
- 22:07and
- 22:08ourselves
- 22:08and
- 22:08others
- 22:09is an
- 22:09evidence
- 22:10of
- 22:11the
- 22:11type
- 22:11of
- 22:12working
- 22:12that
- 22:12God
- 22:13has
- 22:13done
- 22:13in
- 22:14our
- 22:14life.
- 22:15It's
- 22:16the
- 22:16guaranteeing
- 22:17that we
- 22:18will not
- 22:18be held
- 22:19to
- 22:19the
- 22:20same
- 22:20standard
- 22:21that the
- 22:22Pharisees
- 22:22would be
- 22:23held to
- 22:23in their
- 22:24day.
- 22:27The
- 22:27second
- 22:27type
- 22:28of
- 22:28judging
- 22:28we see
- 22:29in our

- 22:39Loving
- 22:40careful
- 22:40sin
- 22:42removal.
- 22:43And I
- 22:43don't mean
- 22:44to say
- 22:44here that
- 22:44we have
- 22:45the power
- 22:45to remove
- 22:45sins
- 22:46from
- 22:46others.
- 22:47But what
- 22:48I mean
- 22:48to say
- 22:49is that
- 22:49God
- 22:49uses
- 22:50us
- 22:51as
- 22:51the
- 22:52means
- 22:52to
- 22:52that
- 22:53end
- 22:53that
