"Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye."

Matthew 7:1-5

Don’t think you can get away with judging another person. You are probably just as guilty or even more so. The message is clear. Christ shows mercy to us when we admit our sin, but He judges our hypocrisy and pride when we refuse to be humbled in His presence. Let’s deal with our own sin and not become experts in pointing out the sins of others.

Most of us are far-sighted about sin,

we see the sins of others but not our own.
