YT Description
📣 Are we called to judge others? 🤔
What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged”? Is He warning us against all judgment—or against hypocritical judgment?
In this short but piercing passage, Christ challenges our attitude toward others. Are we quick to see faults in others while ignoring our own? What does it mean to remove the “beam” from our eye first? Can we truly help someone if we’re spiritually blind ourselves?
Jesus isn’t calling for silence—but for humility, honesty, and discernment. Are we judging with grace—or condemning with pride? Watch now and consider how to walk in truth, mercy, and spiritual wisdom.
