Jesus said to his disciples, "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and the measure you use for others will be used for you. Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and not see the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother: 'Come, let me take the speck from your eye,' as long as that plank is in your own? Hypocrite, take first the plank out of your own eye, then you will see clear enough to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
It is easy for us to lay judgement on others when we find fault in their ways. In fact, it is very easy. But we forget to look into ourselves as well, and see if we find fault there. As it was written on John 8:7 when Magdalene was being prosecuted, Jesus said:
... "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."Let us all remember that the supreme judge is not us, but the One who is above us all.
