Jesus here lays out for us another command and principle of kingdom life.
Just like he says in v 16 of ch 6… don’t lay up treasures on earth… where you treasure is there your heart will be also.
[One of the most taken-out-of-context verses in the Bible.
Instead of a word about judgement, it often is misused as a word of justification…
I’ll do what I want and be what I want and don’t you say a word about it… don’t judge me!]
“krino” has a wide sense.... evaluate…decide…judge; criticism.
“krino” has a broad sense.... evaluate…decide…judge; criticism.
What does Jesus mean?
Jesus, our Model:
John
Acts 17
And yet, he was called:
KEY: The Great Judge Jesus Christ is also our Great Friend.
Knowing this sends us on our way toward a right understanding of the Message Jesus gives here in the first verses of .
Also, we don’t want to lose focus on our context… Jesus is speaking about the Kingdom of Heaven and what Life in the Kingdom is about.
We’ve spoken of mercy and forgiveness and reconciliation; about showing the Light of God’s Love.
Jesus judges in Love.
God’s morality stands as the great law of truth for all the world.
Look back at 5:22:
and v 29, 20.
Clear distinction be two forms of Judgement.
We can see it well in:
What is right judgement?
Judge how? (Discern, Discriminate according to “right judgement”)
Clear distinction be two forms of Judgement.
We can see it well in:
Judge how? (Discern, Discriminate according to “right judgement”)
What is right judgement?
And also wrong judgement?
1 Cor
Don’t pronounce judgement… condemnation (in the full legal sense?)
This is acting as Judge in the Place of Christ, which we have no right or ability to do: [but we certainly desire to do!]
What is right judgement?
which we have no right or ability to do:
References that illuminate “judge not”
Romans 14:10:13
James
Don’t BE judgemental… an attitude.
(heart; about your relationship to others)
Rom 3:23-
Romans 3
Except to examine your own heart-attitude.
Jesus has authority and ability to Judge, not us.
Therefore, when we do judge others it is not according to God’s standard.
It is according to our own.
This is classic Pharisee territory; define a standard that allows for what you are and condemns anyone not like you.
“for” = Is a Consequence...
vs 3,4,5 prove it: It is ultimately the sin of hypocrisy… and isn’t that one of the greatest judgements of the world against Christians today.
Ask someone why the have rejected Christianity and the answer generally boils down to this: We’re seen as hypocrites.
common proverb, similar to how we might say that “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
