Judging others, ( Matthew 7 v 1-6)

Our Saviour said ,'Do not Judge,this is on a personal level,of course we need Judges in our courts to administer justice.Matthew Henry wrote the following,'We must judge ourselves,and judge our own acts, but we must not judge our brother. We mus not sit in the judgement seat,to make our word a law to everybody.We must not despise him,nor treat him with comtempt.We must not judge rashly.We must not judge uncharitably,unmercifully,nor with the spirit of revenge,and a desire to do mmischief. We must not jufge the hearts of others,nor their intentions,for it is God's prerogative to try the heart. Nor must we judge of their eternal state. William Barclay writes the following,'There is hardly anyone who has not ben guilty of some grave misjudgment; there is hardly anyone who has not suffered from someone else's misjudgment. and yet the strange fact is that there is hardly any commandment of Jesus which is more consistently brokn and neglected'
