I find that it’s usually so easy for people to scorn other people who are weak towards the wrong-things they aren’t weak towards. Sometimes, it is even more funny because I still see people scorn other people who are guilty of even the very wrong-things that they, themselves, are guilty of. What a world we live in.
What do I mean when I say ‘… weak towards wrong-things’? (I am using ‘wrong things’ together, as a compound word for easy identification of the point for today). Everyone, big, small, black, white, brown, and what other colors you may have, are guilty of wrong-doing. they were guilty of it, yesterday. They are guilty of it, today. They would still even be guilty of it, tomorrow. No one, on their own power is able to be good. There is no one that is good, perfect, clean, righteous, etc., on their own. On our own, we are all filthy animals that can’t seem to get anything right. But what I find funny is that, the very same people who are just as guilty as every other person, would always jump-the-gun to be the first to condemn others. Even worse; they condemn others in the name of ‘God’. How wonderful can humans get? It is really something to think, ponder, and talk about. We have previously talked about the source of every single sin, and just as what is in the bible, we classified them into three main causative reasons; Lust of the eyes, Lust of the flesh, Pride of life. Every occurrence of sin stems from these very three categories, and these very three categories are the sin-source categories that only one person was able to triumph over. That person is Jesus.
Still emphasizing the phrase ‘weak towards’; Just as Person A, Person B and Person C have different tastes in food, music, clothing, etc., Person A, Person B and Person C have different sinful desires. Person A likes having sex with animals, Person B likes maltreating others, Person C steals. Person A doesn’t steal, so when he hears that Person C steals, he starts to condemn Person C. Person C doesn’t maltreat others directly, so Person C starts to condemn Person B, and it goes on and on.
Does this mean I am saying that you should keep indulging your sinful act, because other people have one or two sinful acts they indulge? No. That is not the message I am trying to pass across. I want to pass across two things, mainly. The first is that if you are guilty of one thing, you are as guilty as everyone else of sin. James 2: 10. So get off your high-horse and tell the people in open sin about the loving High-Priest who loves them and wants them to try learning to love Him back. We were all cleansed by such a one. Such a one (Jesus) was and is the source of our righteousness, and as easy as it was for Him to cloak us, He can cloak others who accept Him.
The second point is WHO IS JUDGING WHO? Christ is love and peace, but unfortunately, human beings (both the un-transformed and those being transformed) are not full of love and peace. God help us. Dear Christian-in-training, God isn’t condemning you. As long as you have breath in your nostrils, God has given you a new chance to learn to love Him even more, so you can be ‘unconsciously’ transformed. If you read from the Gospel according to Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, concerning the period when Christ was crucified, till He died, you would begin to see the true faces of the people condemning you (from the robbers, to the scribes, to the soldiers, etc.), all human. It is not God. It is the sinful nature of man. The flesh of man. While God has judged sin, man continues to judge man.
