The Final Judgment, Pet Division
A rottweiler, a chihuahua, and a cat all die and appear before the Judgment Seat of Heaven.
God asks the rottweiler, "Why should you get into Heaven?"
The rottweiler says, "I protected my family for years, and died saving them from a crazed killer."
God says, "Well done, boy.
Come sit at my right hand.
How about you, Mr. Snuffles?"
The chihuahua says "I didn't die heroically, but I did provide love and comfort to an elderly lady in her last years."
"Good enough.
Come sit on my left."
God turns to the cat.
"How about you?
Why should you get into Heaven?"
The cat looks up and calmly says, "because you're in my chair."
People are too judgmental nowadays.
I can tell just by looking at them.
Today I would expand on the subject of Do not Judge one another.
Judging people is one of the most destructive ways to inhibit relationships.
Many religious people use judgement as their primary weapon of choice.
But what does it mean to Judge?
We all know about judges and how they operate.
They enforce the laws of the land and when they discover someone who has violated that law.
They pass out the penalty for the offense.
But is that the biblical defininition of Judement.
def. the notion of judging means settling a dispute, making things right.
Inasmuch as one of the disputants was right and the other wrong, to judge came to mean to help a man obtain his rights
The Biblical concept of judgment, however, can be clearly understood only in relation to the idea of justice, for it was the primary duty of a judge "to do justice"
For simplicity we will use the definition of Biblical judging “to make right”
When a person we love in caught in a trespass, and you know that results will only do them harm.
the Loving thing is to lend aid so they no longer are caught in the trespass
I find it very interesting that many people who have never read the Bible still know that it says “Do not Judge”
It often is the 1st line of defense for beleivers who are comfronted with a when they are doing something they know they shouldn’t be doing.
Don’t judge Me!
But is that what the Bible is actually saying?
1 Don’t Judge someone for doing somthing your are doing yourself
Jesus said in Matthew chapter 7
If you only read the first half of the first verse
Do Not Judge.
You may come to the understanding that we should never Judge.
But in context is that what Jesus is saying?
Not really.
The emphasis is on not being a hypocrite .
Instead we should be dealing with the sin in our own life before we think to help others with their sin!
Take the log out of your own eye before removing the speck from your brothers eye.
The principle Jesus is laying down, is to improve yourself before you think of improving others.
Yes we should still be there to help our brother pull the speck out, but it should done out of a motivation of Love rather than belittlement.
The way judment is often misused today is to put someone down so you feel better about yourself.
instead it should be used to lift the other up!
The Apostle Paul reiterated this teaching in the letter to the Church in Rome
We can’t ignore our own issues when calling someone out in their issues
2. Do not judge those outside the church
Judge according to the flesh
Jesus said in John chapter 8 when speaking to the religious leaders
John 8:15–16 (NASB95)
15 “You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
16 “But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
Its clear we are not to stand in judgement of those outside the church.
Their God’s responsibilty
but
3. We are to judge ourselves
4. We are to judge those inside the church
It’s not wrong to lovingly help our brother remove a harmful speck from his eye.
It’s wrong to self-righteously point out a speck in our brother’s eye when we ignore, as no big deal, the ridiculous log protruding from our own.
Paul confronts Peter
Christians using secular courts to settle disputes
If a person will not repent of their sin we are to remove them from the church
The purpose of Judgement is to make right
to restore
5. Jesus is the righteous Judge
Judgement belongs to God
Jesus takes judgment very seriously.
He is the righteous judge
who is full of grace and truth
He does not judge by appearances, but judges with right judgment
Every judgment he pronounces issues from his core loving nature
Holy Spirit operated judgement to bring about salvation
6.
What about those who are in the process
Discipleship is a process
it doesn’t happen overnight
We love people so they can belong
their belonging will help them believe
which will aid Holy Spirit to corrrect and transform them
Conclusion
Current Judgement is not about condemnation
True Biblical judgment is about making things right.
When the time is up and people do not repent The judgment will come
