Epiphany 7
The Bible’s command that we not judge others does not mean we cannot show discernment. In St John's gospel Jesus says: “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly”. Jesus is giving us permission to tell right from wrong. Judgement should not be superficial, harsh, unforgiving, or self-righteous. In St Matthew's gospel Jesus says: “In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”.
