Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — As he continues his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches not to judge—or does he? His teaching on this topic seems contradictory: first he says, "Do not judge," but then he calls us to judge the character of others. This seeming contradiction points us to the complexity of judging wisely and our need to judge ourselves before we humbly judge others. In this teaching, Jesus teaches us how to judge in a godly manner, always extending to others the mercy that we would want God to extend when he judges us. Text: Matthew 7:1-6
