The Judge

"Sure, I'm a sinner, but not as bad as that guy over there."

I think we all do that a lot on comparing ourselves to other when we should really be looking at the plank in our own eye. Community helps lower judging others I think. I can enjoy people without judging them first. I must first look in the mirror and see myself and then look at them. We all make mistakes and to judge someone else for something you have done is not fair.

I usually do this backwards. I usually judge my roommates and convict them about it and then realize that I have done the same things. There is no degree of what is worse than which. My roommates are highly judgemental people, but so am I. They judge people they don't know based on how they're dressed or what they said. So do I. They curse with their tongues and have little respect for others. So do I. They're two-faced people. They act differently depending on the person or gender they are hanging out with. So do I.


Slowly realizing this makes me convicted and makes me feel terrible. How is it possible to critique someone without critiquing yourself? I guess it would be both admitting that you are both sinners and both need help. So I guess it is a tag team thing; both of us battling together to become better people. In the end, we'll never reach perfect people status.

We cannot judge one another because we're all imperfect. Yes, terrorists are just as bad as you and me. The ACLU, democrats, republicans, and atheists are just as worthy to be judged as you and me. For there is only One who is able to judge us. He is perfection and the only perfection. We are not worthy of Him but that is not the case. He sent the perfect spotless lamb to be sacrificed so that we may be perfect through Him. He is the Judge.

Judge Judy can't touch this...
