Matthew 7:1-5

Do not judge, or you too will be

judged. 2 For in the same way you

judge others, you will be judged, and

with the measure you use, it will be

measured to you.

3 Why do you look at the speck of

sawdust in your brothers eye andpay no attention to the plank in your

own eye? 4 How can you say to

your brother, Let me take the speck

out of your eye, when all the time

there is a plank in your own

eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the

plank out of your own eye, and then

What kind of judgment JesusCondemned?

Judging when one is blind to his or

her faults (Matt.7:3-5)

Judging without mercy- (Luke 6:36-37)

Luke 6: 36-37

(36 Be merciful, just as your

Father is merciful. 37 Do not

judge, and you will not be

judged. Do not condemn, and you

will not be condemned. Forgive, andyou will be forgiven.)

The Lord is here condemning the

spirit of censoriousness, judging

harshly, self-righteously, without

mercy, without love, as also theparallel passage (Luke 6:36-37)

clearly indicates.

James warned against making

judgments without mercy James2:13

(13 because judgment without

mercy will be shown to anyone whohas not been merciful. Mercy

triumphs over judgment.)

If we make judgments without

showing mercy, then no mercy will

be shown when we are judged!

The point of judgment about which

Jesus is referring is when the one

judging has a fault within his life

bigger than the fault in the life of theone whom he is judging. So this

person is being a hypocrite in

judging. That is the kind of judging

that Jesus is condemning.

Righteous Judgment

John 7:24

Judge not according to the

appearance, but judge righteous

judgment.

So there you have Jesus sayingdirectly to judge righteous

judgment and therein lies the

difference between the two.

How do we render righteousjudgment?

1. Judge our selves first

based on the teachings and words

of Jesus (We will be judged by

Jesus words and so we must liveby them and judge ourselves by

them each and every day of our

2. Judge based upon the word of God

(Remember, when we judge in thismanner, we are not judging

someone, but the word of God is

judging.)

3. Render judgment with mercy

judgments.

JESUS IMPLIES THERE ARE

TIMES WHEN WE MUSTMAKE JUDGMENTS!

It is after we have corrected our

own faults Matthew 7:5- You

hypocrite, first take the plank out of

your own eye, and then you will see

clearly to remove the speck from

your brother's eye.

Yes- if it is a righteous judgment

We, as Christians, have obligations

to judge certain situations. Jesustaught us to do this in regard to

false teachers, people who are not

living morally, and those who have

proven themselves unworthy of the

gospel.

No- if it is a hypocriticaljudgement

Jesus also taught us not to judge

inappropriately. We should not

judge hypocritically. We should not

judge unrighteously, and we should

not judge in a condemnatory

fashion.
