We Are Not To Become Judge Or Jury For The Sins Of Others

 The person who is most critical of the faults, failings, and sins of others is often guilty of the self-same faults, failings, and sins. 'When you point a finger of accusation at another, remember you have three fingers of accusation pointing right back at yourself,' as the old saying goes. How often the person who is severely judging his fellowman is the hypocrite who flatters themselves of their own uprightness.
 Christ alone had the right to judge the adulteress who stood before Him. He alone had the lawful right to condemn her for her sin. So, having finished writing in the sand, Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"  She said, "No one, LORD." This woman KNEW Jesus as her Savior, she addressed Him as LORD and no one can call Jesus "Lord" except by the Holy Spirit of God. " Jesus said, 'neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.'"
 May we never forget that We Are Not To Become Judge Or Jury For The Sins Of Others, we are all sinners, and only by God's grace have we been forgiven of our sin. Oh, we can judge the false teaching through knowledge of Scripture, and we should judge ourselves, to see if we are walking in spirit and truth, but we are all sinners, saved by grace and for that, we praise and thank our heavenly Father.
 May the mind of Christ direct all our actions and attitudes, our thoughts and the motives of our hearts, and may His gracious attitude be reflected in us as we seek to live lives that are pleasing in His sight, for His praise and glory.
​
John 8:7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Our United Prayer:
Father God, thank You that our sins have been forgiven and there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. We confess that there are times when we have been critical of others, forgetting that our own sins were scarlet, but by Your grace have been washed white as snow. Lord, we want to live lives that are pleasing to You. We pray that Your new-life within may display the grace and love of the Lord Jesus towards others, in the same way that You show Your grace and love towards us. In Jesus' name we all Pray, AMEN.
