Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judges: for wherein you judge another, you condemn thyself; for you that judge do the same things.
Bosses sometimes judge the employees who called out sick the day after the Super Bowl, or the day after New Year’s. Even though it may look or sound fishy, the gut feeling is not based on facts and as such, must also be taken with a grain of salt. The employees could really have been sick. Then there are little, budding judges in the form of children, who sometimes wrongfully judge parents.
In many cases, animosities and bad feelings settle in the home, based on false assumptions or narratives. Parents are imperfect beings, and sometimes they’ll do things with the best of intentions, which are later impugned by the kids. Therefore, we seem to be immersed in a judgmental world where people are drawing the wrong or right conclusions every day, and because of this, it is now necessary to address the issue of judging.
The Gospel generally tracks a different course, for in God’s courtroom, the bad actors are set free whenever they confess to wrongdoing and plead for help. But, for viewers down here on earth, to see the sinner go free would cause the ratings of judgmental shows to go down, for mercy is not a part of our natural grain.
Psalms 109:15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
