<p>Jesus seems to be contradicting himself here. He has said many times, such as John 5:30 and 9:29, that he is the judge. Why now does he say he doesn't? This is actually good news for us, because Jesus does not come looking to wield a hammer. He comes looking to show mercy. Still, a person's heart and their actions bring judgment on them, a product of their own doing. </p>
