JUDGE NOT, CONDEMN NOT

By Edna Fuentes - Dela Fuente




As the saying goes: “There are always two sides in a coin.”

At times, people only see the tip of the iceberg, but not what lies beneath.

Same goes with when you see a river, with very calm surface, but unaware of the undercurrent running underneath.

Russian poet Mikhail Lermontov reminds us: “Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way down to the sea. Sadly, not everyone knows this. Although things might seem tumultuous now, it won't be that way forever.”

In view of the above, passing on judgment too prematurely should never be done.

Come to think of it, who are we to judge, considering that no one is perfect.

For Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 7:1-5, Holy Bible, English Standard Version, ESV

“Judge not, that you be not judged.

“For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?

“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.”

SINNERS' PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

“Dear GOD THE FATHER,

"I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness.

"I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life.

"I want to trust in Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord [owner of my life]; from this day forward. 

"Guide my life and help me to do Your will according to the Holy Scriptures.

"I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”
