Believers, Do NOT Judge

John 8:1-11

But Jesus went to The Mount of Olives.  Now early in the morning He came again into The Temple, and All The People CAME TO Him; and He SAT DOWN AND TAUGHT Them.  THEN The Scribes (Unbelievers) AND Pharisees (Unbelievers) BROUGHT TO Him a Woman CAUGHT IN Adultery.  AND When They (Unbelievers) Had SET Her IN The Midst, They (Unbelievers) said to Him (Jesus Christ), “Teacher, THIS Woman WAS CAUGHT IN Adultery, IN The Very ACT.  Now Moses, IN The Law (The Old Covenant), Commanded Us, That SUCH Should BE STONED (PUT TO Death).  BUT What DO YOU SAY?”  This They (Unbelievers) said, TESTING Him, That They Might Have Something OF Which TO ACCUSE Him.  BUT Jesus Stooped Down AND Wrote ON The Ground WITH His Finger, as though He did NOT hear.  So, when They (Unbelievers) continued asking Him, He RAISED Himself UP and SAID TO Them, “He WHO IS WITHOUT Sin AMONG YOU, Let Him THROW A STONE AT Her FIRST.”  AND AGAIN He Stooped Down and Wrote ON The Ground.  Then Those (Unbelievers) Who HEARD IT, BEING CONVICTED, By Their Conscience, WENT OUT One by One, Beginning WITH The Oldest EVEN TO The Last.

And Jesus WAS LEFT ALONE, and The Woman Standing IN The Midst.  When Jesus Had RAISED Himself UP and SAW NO ONE, BUT The Woman, He SAID TO Her, “Woman, WHERE ARE Those Accusers OF Yours?  HAS NO ONE CONDEMNED YOU?”  She said, “No One, LORD.”  And Jesus SAID TO Her, “NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU; GO AND Sin NO More.”

Matthew 7:1-5

“Judge NOT, That YOU (Believers) BE NOT Judged.  For WITH What Judgment YOU Judge, YOU WILL BE Judged; AND WITH The Measure YOU USE, IT WILL BE Measured Back TO YOU.  And Why DO YOU Look AT The Speck (the sin) IN Your Brother’s Eye (Your Brother’s Life), BUT Do NOT Consider The Plank (the sin) IN Your Own Eye (Your Own Life)?  OR How Can YOU SAY TO Your Brother, ‘Let me REMOVE The Speck (the sin) FROM Your Eye (Your Brother’s Life)’; AND LOOK, A Plank (the sin) IS IN Your Own Eye (Your Own Life)?  HYPOCRITE!  First REMOVE The Plank (the sin) FROM Your Own Eye (Your Own Life), AND THEN YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY TO REMOVE The Speck (the sin) FROM Your Brother’s Eye (Your Brother’s Life).

Luke 6:37-42

“Judge NOT, AND YOU Shall NOT BE Judged.  Condemn NOT, AND YOU Shall NOT BE Condemned.  FORGIVE, AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN.  GIVE, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU: Good Measure, Pressed Down, Shaken Together, AND Running Over, WILL BE PUT INTO Your Bosom (Your Heart).  For WITH The Same Measure That YOU USE, IT WILL Be Measured Back TO YOU.”  And He SPOKE A Parable TO Them: “Can The Blind LEAD The Blind?  Will They NOT BOTH Fall INTO The Ditch?

A Disciple (Believers) IS NOT ABOVE His Teacher (Jesus Christ), BUT EVERYONE (Believers) Who IS PERFECTLY TRAINED, WILL BE LIKE His Teacher (Jesus Christ).  AND Why DO YOU Look AT The Speck (the sin) IN Your Brother’s Eye (Your Brother’s Life), BUT Do NOT Perceive The Plank (the sin) IN Your Own Eye (Your Own Life)?  OR How Can YOU SAY TO Your Brother, ‘Brother, Let me REMOVE The Speck (the sin) That IS IN Your Eye (Your Brother’s Life),’ When YOU Yourself DO NOT SEE The Plank (the sin) That IS IN Your Own Eye (Your Own Life)?  HYPOCRITE!  FIRST, REMOVE The Plank (the sin) FROM Your Own Eye (Your Own Life), AND THEN, YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY TO REMOVE The Speck (the sin) That IS IN Your Brother’s Eye (Your Brother’s Life).

Fellow Believers, there a few things We can learn from These Scriptures.  First of all, do NOT point out the sin(s) IN Someone Else’s Life, when you have Your Own sin(s) TO DEAL WITH.  YOU do NOT want someone else pointing out Your Own sin(s), DO YOU?  I Did NOT Think SO.  Remember, We ALL SIN, NOT A Single One of Us (Mankind) IS IMMUNE TO Sinning!  Think About THIS, IF I SPEND My Time Trying TO ELIMINATE sin, From My Own Life, I Will NOT Have Time, TO Worry About Others, Trying TO DO The Same Thing, huh?

Now, Speaking of sin, Unbelievers misunderstand Our (Believers) Position on sin.  Just LIKE GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, We (Believers) can DESPISE the sin, while still loving the sinner.  GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit LOVE All Mankind, and WANT The Best for Each and Every Single One OF Us (Mankind), so much so, that even when We do commit a sin, when We ASK For FORGIVENESS, GOD Almighty NOT ONLY Forgives, BUT ALSO, FORGETS!  Now, That’s Amazing GRACE!  Just LIKE GOD Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, We WANT Everyone TO Acknowledge GOD Almighty’s Amazing Saving GRACE AND Accept GOD Almighty’s FREE GIFT OF Salvation, BUT We Are NOT Naïve enough to believe that Every Single Person WILL, because it’s just NOT True, Many WILL NOT, unfortunately.

Jesus Christ, WHILE WALKING IN This World, Did NOT Judge ANYONE, He simply asked Them NOT to sin, ANYMORE!  Therefore, AS Disciples OF Jesus Christ, AS Jesus Christ’s LIGHT Upon This World, AS Brothers AND Sisters IN Christ Jesus, We Shall DO The Same, We Will NOT Judge ANYONE (Believers, Yet-To-Be-Believers, FALSE Believers, OR Unbelievers), BUT Request that They GO and sin NO More!

We KNOW, We Will BE IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, and All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, For Eternity, Forever!

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, There IS NO Time TO WASTE, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!
