The Gospel of Matthew - Judging Others | Matthew Chapter 7 : 1 - 5

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus teaches about the importance of not judging others. He cautions against hypocritical judgment, reminding his followers that the standard by which they judge others will be applied to them as well. Jesus uses the analogy of a speck of dust in someone else's eye compared to a plank in one's own eye to illustrate the absurdity of trying to remove someone else's fault while ignoring one's own. He advises addressing one's own shortcomings before attempting to help others with theirs. This passage emphasizes the need for humility and self-reflection, urging believers to approach others with grace and understanding rather than harsh judgment.
