THE SEED
“And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.” Luke 6:31
The world would be a better place if we all lived by this standard in the opening scripture. Everybody wants to be loved, respected, treated with kindness, etc. We should do likewise to others. Those who live a carnal sensual life, instead of devoting themselves to the honour of God and the good of others, must not expect any other fruit than corruption and destruction. They live only for a temporary satisfaction of the present, and they will reap the ruin and misery at the end of it. It is absurd for anyone to pretend to be so wise as to see the smallest faults in others, like a speck or a mote, when their own heart is so perfectly hardened to the extent that they themselves cannot perceive that there is something as large as a beam in their own eye.
Dearly beloved, be perfect if you want to point out the imperfection of others. Remember our goal is to win people to the kingdom of God, not to shut the kingdom of God in people’s faces. We can tell the truth about condemnation without condemning. We can tell the truth about judgement without being judgmental.
PRAYER
O Lord teach me to behold the speck in my eyes in order to be pleasing unto you. In Jesus name, Amen.
