MATTHEW 7:1-5

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

• Sometimes if we feel inadiquate we judge others harshly
• This is quite obviously wrong

• Jesus asks us to take a good look at ourselves before we judge others
• Most of the time the flaws we see in other are really our own
• this is called: projection

• or pay the person a compliment

• the people around you will be happier
