MATTHEW 7:1-6<\/p>\n
SUBJECT: Passage<\/p>\n
TITLE: Motes and Beams<\/p>\n
PROPOSITION: To set forth the Lord’s teaching regarding fault finding.<\/p>\n
OBJECTIVE:That we not be fault finders.<\/p>\n
INTRODUCTION:<\/p>\n
1. Read: Matthew 7:1-6.<\/p>\n
2. Regarding the text:<\/p>\n
1) Do you think Jesus is a liar?<\/p>\n
2) John 7:24.<\/p>\n
3) Do you believe Jesus is a liar?<\/p>\n
4) When a passage of Scripture is given which condemns some action or attitude, many resort to the first two words in Matthew 7, “Judge not!”<\/p>\n
5) If these words forbid any and all discerning, discriminating, judging, then it contradicts John 7:24 and in one or the other of these places, Jesus lied.<\/p>\n
6) Actually, Jesus never said, “Judge not (period).”<\/p>\n
7) As we look at the context, Jesus is forbidding some hypocrite engaging in “fault-finding” as a ploy to cover his own sin.<\/p>\n
8) Jesus said in verse 6 that we are obligated to make determinations, judgments, as to the character of people: are they dogs or swine.<\/p>\n
