Grace for your spirit February 22, 2014

Grace for your spirit
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.  John 7:24

Is it right to judge or not?  Jesus was used to people making quick judgment about Him, and watched those same people do the same with others.  He warned us to be careful in the judgments we must make, because we will be judged by the same standard.  How can we make righteous judgments instead of jumping to conclusions based on appearances?  First of all, we must know what God has to say about what is right and what is wrong.  Then we must carefully measure the difference.  "I heard, I saw, I'm not surprised," is appearance judgment and will not do, by us or toward us.  Let's bathe our judgments with grace.
