Stop Judging

 

Text Box: Dear Servant,
	I watched recently with sadness and no small amount of anger as you judged one of my other servants.  Yes, I am quite aware of their sins.  After all, I did purchase them the same as I did you.  I am appalled by their sin of course, but I am no less appalled by your judging them.  Who are you to stand in judgment?  Did you make the heavens and stars and set them in order?  Did you lay out the commands of right and wrong when the world was formed?  Did you place truth in the heart of every man for him to follow and find life?  Who are you to judge a fellow servant?
	What about your own failings?  Do you realize I despise your judging my servants failings as much as I despise her sin?  Do you realize that your sin is a complete affront to my grace.  I sacrificed what was most precious, the blood of my own son.  The only one with the right to judge is the one who gave that blood.  When you set yourself as judge you act like you are beyond my grace.  You are not.  Absent of my son’s sacrifice you would not even know right from wrong, much less be able to do anything truly right or holy.  Stop judging my other servants, before their punishment must be visited upon you.
The Righteous Judge, I AM
