What Does "Do not Judge" Really Mean - Matthew 6:25 – 7:12 (Session 10)

What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged”?In this session, Glenn and Steve finish Matthew 6 and move into Matthew 7. Jesus first addresses worry and anxiety, reminding His followers that the Father already knows what they need. Instead of allowing food, clothing, work, possessions, and tomorrow’s problems to dominate life, believers are called to seek first God’s kingdom and righteousness.The discussion then turns to one of the most quoted verses in Scripture: “Do not judge.” Jesus is not prohibiting all discernment. He warns against hypocritically condemning others while ignoring our own sins. Christians must examine themselves first and then evaluate truth and error with humility and care.The session also considers what Jesus meant by “pearls before swine,” how “ask, seek, and knock” should be understood in light of God’s will, why unanswered prayer does not mean God is unloving, and how the Golden Rule summarizes a major principle of biblical relationships.Matthew 6:25–7:12 | The Book of Matthew — Session 10 Questions discussed in this session include:Does God know about our needs?Can we trust God to supply our needs?Should we judge other people’s actions and teachings?Will we always get what we pray for if we pray in faith? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
