John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment." How can we pass moral or righteous judgment when we cannot see a person's, heart? John 8:3-11 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.”Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. We are all sinners, but because our sins do not show some of us feel we can judge others. A sin is a sin whether great or small; we are judged the same. So unless you are total without sin, do not judge others, beside God does not need our help with judgment.
Father, help us not to judge others so that we will not be judged, because, in the way we judge, we will be judged; and by our standard of measure, it will be measured to us. Lord, teach us not to look at the sins of our brother's and sister's but focus on our sins. Father, help us put our flesh to rest, by studying Your Word daily. Lord, teach us how, and what to pray for, so we may draw near to You. Lord, help us see others as You see them, not with our eyes, but through our hearts, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
