FOR AT WHATEVER POINT YOU JUDGE ANOTHER, YOU ARE CONDEMNING YOURSELF, Romans 2:1

We saw yesterday that Moses commanded Israel’s new judges to judge with Fairness/Impartiality, even between Jews and foreigners, rich and poor.

 17 DO NOT SHOW PARTIALITY IN JUDGING; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of anyone, FOR JUDGEMENT BELONGS TO GOD. Deuteronomy 1

He ended with a powerful statement, ‘FOR JUDGEMENT BELONGS TO GOD’. All judgement by men on earth is an extension of God’s Justice in Heaven.

Jesus’ enemies tried to trap Him by saying they knew He judged justly and what was His answer to a simple question;

They came to him and said, ‘Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? 15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?’ Mark 12

They believed Jesus had to either compromise God’s Justice or break Caesar’s law, but His answer did neither.

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. ‘Why are you trying to trap me?’ he asked. ‘Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.’16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, ‘Whose image is this? And whose inscription?’

‘Caesar’s,’ they replied.

17 Then Jesus said to them, ‘Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.’ Mark 12

In the letter to the Romans, Paul also speaks about judging wisely and not putting ourselves into a place where judgement will come upon us.

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, FOR AT WHATEVER POINT YOU JUDGE ANOTHER, YOU ARE CONDEMNING YOURSELF, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Romans 2:1

(Committing this verse to memory would act as a brake on much judgement in the Body today).

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but GLORY, HONOUR AND PEACE FOR EVERYONE WHO DOES GOOD: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 FOR GOD DOES NOT SHOW FAVOURITISM (But He does show Favour to His Children!) Romans 2

God wants to bless His children and His Favour is the best thing we can ever have here on earth. May we seek Him to know more of His Blessings today.
