Matthew 7:1-5

Listen to Matthew 7:1-5

Judging Others

1 1“Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 2For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and 3with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but 4do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye, ’ when there is the log in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

Judge Yourself Part 2
Judge Yourself Part 2
Jeff Johnson

The Lord said, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” It’s become one of the most misused and misunderstood statements ever uttered by Jesus. You’ll hear that phrase often invoked to excuse all sorts of bad behavior. But is that an accurate usage of the Lord’s words?  Is Jesus saying, we’re to refrain from exercising judgement and discernment?  We’ve come to the seventh chapter of Matthew here today on Sound Doctrine- where Jesus takes on the subject of judging others and the right and wrong way of going about it.  

Judge Yourself Part 1
Judge Yourself Part 1
Jeff Johnson

Today on Sound Doctrine we'll be going over what may be one of the most misunderstood sections of the Sermon on the Mount. How many times have we heard someone say, “Judge not!”  It’s almost always quoted out of context, and is often used to condemn anyone who chooses to make judgements based on the teachings and standards of the Bible. Pastor Jeff Johnson will help us arrive at a better understanding of what Jesus is really communicating to us here in part one of, “Judge Yourself.”
