What Is That In Your Eye?


When people go through things, other people judge them; form opinions. However, one should not presume to know another mans plight. That is what Job's friends did to him. Every one of us has issues. No one's issues are more or less than another as they are the burdens of the one who bears them. In the end, God has the final say.

Why Judge One Another?

Some judge presuming to know others because they need to feel good about themselves by looking to find fault in the lives of their fellows. However, we have a great number of things in our own lives that need to be dealt with. To constantly judge another is to reveal one's own diminished, weakened and damaged state, whether mental or physical. We have to examine ourselves before we assassinate someone's character, then we may see clearly to help our fellows (Mathew 7:5).

Judge Not

"Do not judge and criticize and condemn others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge, so that you will not be judged unfairly. For just as you hypocritically judge others when you are sinful and unrepentant, so will you be judged; and in accordance with your standard of measure used to pass out judgment, judgment will be measured to you. Why do you look at the insignificant speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the egregious log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me get the speck out of your eye,’ when there is a log in your own eye? (Mathew 7:1-4).

Examine Yourself

"Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as committed believers. Examine yourselves, not one another! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves by an ongoing experience that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit? (2 Corinthians 13:5)."For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
