Throughout this Blessed series, we have been looking at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, which shows us what the Kingdom of God would be like if we follow Him here on earth. A primary aspect of this is to value people and relationships. This is why Jesus used the powerful imagery of our human tendency to fixate on the speck in someone else’s eye while ignoring the “plank” in our own eye. He cautions us against being judgmental of other people’s sinful behavior or attitudes while minimizing or ignoring the sin in our own life. Jesus is not teaching us, as Christians, to not exercise any judgment. Rather, He is instructing us to prioritize dealing with our sin first.Doing so will put us in a posture of humility, allowing us to see clearly and help others deal with their sin. This is a powerful process that allows us to deal with both hypocrisy and judgmentalism within our own lives while being able to minister to others and deal with the shortcomings in their lives.
