Judge Not...?

The phrase “Do not judge” is likely one of the most misunderstood yet frequently used phrases in the entirety of Scripture.

The fact is, we are judging things all the time. We check reviews on restaurants to judge whether or not we’ll eat there. We visit Rotten Tomatoes to see what the critics are saying about a movie we might want to watch. Even when it comes to people, we make judgements based on first-impressions on whether or not we’d like to pursue connecting with a person a second time.

So what does Jesus mean when he says, “Do not judge?” This week, we look at three directives on how we should approach judgement.
