When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
Wayne Dyer (1940-, American psychotherapist, author, lecturer)
Romans 14:9-12
Christ died and came to life for this: that He might rule over both the dead and the living. But you, why do you criticize your brother? Or you, why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written: As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will give praise to God. So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. (HCSB)
When I was a little boy one of my favorite games was king of the hill. We would find us an old pile of sawdust and see who could stay on the top the longest while we sized them up and tackled them. We didn’t create that game; it is one that has been played through the ages, some of those battles ended in the loss of life.
We should be careful in this life in our relationships with others, for all those others around us are also children that Jesus died for. When we stand before His throne on judgment day God is not going to ask us one question about their actions. Just one subject will be the topic of that conversation; it will all be about us, “personally.”
Romans 2:15b says this, “Their competing thoughts either accuse or excuse them on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.” What competing thoughts? It is the competing thoughts of Grace, and Law, have we shared the grace that God has given us or have we reserved that for ourselves and judgment for others? God will decide in that day…Grace to you, and God’s Blessings.
