Judging Others & The Law of multiplied Returns - Luke 6:37-45

We are very quick to pre-judge others, wanting to show how someone is wrong and we are right. So Jesus gave us a good teaching and emphasized the law of reciprocity to remind us that what we give out to others we will receive back in multiplied. If we want respect, we need to give it to others. So, be humble and look at things from multiple perspectives first.

The issue is not about judging but about pre-judging without understanding the truth. Without judging how can we be responsible for our brothers and sisters. Jesus wants us to judge fairly as Him. But we are only a student and need time to be trained and grow up like Jesus. Then we can judge fairly.


Lessons:

  • Before making a judgement it is important to be humble, curious, and open-minded in seeking understanding and truth

  • See from multiple perspectives, seek knowledge, and pray for guidance and understanding.

  • Pre-judge Not because of our bias and limited knowledge.

  • A good way is to judge by its fruit - Judge by his words and deeds. We may have to wait for fruits

Know the Law of Reciprocity
Hence give respect and give good and never give the bad.
Do better - even return evil with good(Romans 12:21) as our Heavenly Father 
(Matthew 5:45-47 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Be patience. 不是不报 而是时间未到 It's not that there is no retribution, but that the time has not yet arrived.
