This week, we take a closer look at what Jesus actually meant in Matthew 7:1–6 and how His words challenge both our tendency to condemn others and ignore our own need for grace.

Jesus doesn’t call us to turn off discernment, but He does call us to stop playing God. He invites us to start with our own hearts, walk in humility, and approach others with compassion shaped by the mercy we’ve received. And at the center of it all is the gospel: the only One who had the right to condemn us chose instead to say, “Paid in full.”
