Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Luke 6:37, “Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free and you will be set free.”
The devotion is titled Jesus Set the Bar by Darla Noble and Joyverse. Jesus cautions us not to judge others. We are reminded that we are all sinners. The Bible makes it very clear that all have broken God’s law. When we judge or condemn, we are accusing without giving any hope or encouragement for change. Our job is to share the Gospel which brings hope, repentance, salvation, and living a life of faith.
Reflection: While we are warned not to judge others, we are called to hold each other accountable. What is the difference?
Here was my response: We are all sinners and will fall short. When Jesus returns, we will stand before the judgment seat and account for our actions and sins.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, please help us see others the way You do, as those who are lovable and whose sins are covered by the cross just like ours are. Give us the wisdom to not judge, but to present the Word and set an example of one who lives the way You called us to live. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
