These verses, quite helpfully, say something about how Christians face conflict in community. The injunction here is that before making judgements about others, the disciple is to engage in self-examination, avoiding hypocrisy. This passage is an invitation into the needed but too often neglected practice of self-examination. This week Pastor Bijan explores Jesus’ famous statement, ‘Do not judge’. We’ll be considering not only what Jesus meant, but also how that teaching shapes the way you navigate conflict today.
