Measure Up

Chad Balthrop • Matthew 7:1-6 It’s the most misquoted verse in the Bible. We live in a generation that rightly rejects and ridicules judgmental people, yet struggles to practice good judgment. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls out hypocrites, holds the Scribes and Pharisees accountable for manipulating people, and calls some people dogs and pigs. In the middle of all that name-calling, He reminds us, “Judge not lest we be judged.” In His unparalleled way of living, Jesus teaches us how to practice good judgment without becoming judgmental.
