Scripture says, “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?”

The issue Jesus addresses is how quick we are to find fault in our brother’s eye but do not realize that our fault is 10 times bigger.

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?

We want to avoid our own fault but quickly deal with someone else’s fault.

The speck is so small that it is almost irrelevant… compared to the plank that really needs to be address.

The speck is so small that it is almost irrelevant… compared to what really needs to be address.

Not only are we quick but also we tend to focuses closely on our brothers that we can find a small speck, which fails in comparison to the huge plank that is in your eye.

Self-examination.

When situations arises that we ought not to point the finger at someone else but look within and think how can I make this better…

Hypocrite - You don’t live by the same standard where sin is sin across the board.

Jesus teaches that we must first focus on our own shortcoming. This is not to say that those around us don’t have faults, bad habits and sins, they do, we all do. But despite that, Jesus wants us to focus first on our part.

Self-examination.

One of the worst if not the worst thing you can call a Christian is a Hypocrite – Not living by the same standard where sin is sin across the board.

Being true and not two-faced. Not being fake!

This attitude of judging stems from a self-righteous spirit.

We know that Jesus came to fulfill the law.

Before Jesus came we were under the law and the law dictated what was sin.

The Pharisee and the Saceeduces were self-proclaimed righteous men because they knew the law.

And they were able to find specks in everyone else’s eye expect their own.

When they caught the woman in adultery but Jesus say’s “he was is without sin cast the first stone.”

Before we judge and condemn anyone we first need to do a self-examination on ourselves.

Search me O God, and if there be any wicked way in me, lead me to the way everlasting.
