A central theme with Jesus so far is in and out. It is the inside that counts. Fasting, praying, giving, and much more are to be lead by the inside and not the willful resolution of the outside. I think He knows something we do not know. At least we didn't. It is the heart that counts most. Faith, mercy and serving God all stem from a heart that is decided and not from a disciplined lifestyle. The heart is where the Kingdom is birthed. It is the birthing by the Spirit of God that changes us and that happens on the..., inside.
Matthew 7:1–2 (NIV84) “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Krino- to judge others guilty and condemn them to punishment. What, me? The petty judgments of fashion, the moral judgments, the coveting heart judgments that say they don't deserve that, it is all inclusive. With our words we most often punish. We degrade effortlessly at times. It's poison! We are all guilty of drinking the poison! It's like drinking alcohol and being drunk and having fun, until you vomit, until you are nauseous, until the headache won't go away. Judgment is poison. Jesus is giving us a good reason to avoid it and love instead. Love unifies, judgment separates. You can bite your tongue, or you can let the Spirit urge you to love and flow with that. Although the tongue heals faster than any other body part, I would rather avoid the wound and flow with what God has put inside of me. Love.
