What did Jesus mean when he said, "Judge not, that you may be not judged"? From the example he gave regarding the log in the eye, it is obvious that we are still to help remove the speck, but only after we have done the hard work to get the log out of our own eyes. Once we see clearly we are able to develop an accurate view of God, a healthy view of others, an honest view of ourselves, and the right balance within ourselves.
