Today we examine a portion of Scripture that has become the most well know verse in the Bible by our culture.  Our society has used this verse to try to silence a sense of morality within our land.  Yet upon careful examination these verses do not mean what others have tried to foist upon us, so what did Jesus mean when He said “Judge not”?

  I. Jesus – The Judge
     A. His destiny
     B. His description
II. Pharisees – the Judgmental
    A. John 7:24 - Superficial
    B. Luke 16:15 – Self-Exalting
    C. Luke 18:9 - Condescending
III. Believers – The Judicial
     A. Realize there is a future
          judgment   vs. 1,2
      B. Relinquish personal
         preferences   vs. 2
      C. Re-examine personal
         righteousness   vs. 3,4
      D. Repent of self--righteousness   vs. 5
      E. Reject not judging   vs. 6

Big Idea:
To judge righteously we must
righteously judge ourselves.
