Judgement of Others Part 1

Over the next few days I'm going to talk about how Judgement is a form of prejudice. At sometime in our life all of us have been prejudice. This one of those hard truths we all have to face. this is what the Jesus has to say about judgement.

Mat 7:1-5  Judge not, that ye be not judged.  (2)  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.  (3)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (4)  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?  (5)  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

There are many types of prejudice and I would have to write a book to cover them all. I'm going to talk about just a few that I think are relevant to today's life. We will start with Economical Prejudice. Is the first thought of how the Rich look down upon the poor? But it goes much farther than that It just doesn't start with the vary rich and go down to the middle class it goes all the way down to those with nothing and it works both ways. do you look up at rich people and say "they are rich they don't know what hard work is they have an easy live got should take what they have away so they will know how it feel to be poor they must not be a good person" or do you look down at those who have nothing and think "they must have done something wrong to be where they are. or maybe you look at the man on the side of the road holding up a sign and think he does drugs or drinks" maybe it's just a simple thought of I work hard for my money they should too. It can be a hard think to do but we must remember that god loves all of us equally rich or poor.
