We hope that this podcast finds you in good shape.
-
And now here's your message.
-
You're listening to a podcast from Victory. Jesus taught us
-
principles on judgment and discernment. Learn more about judging others
-
in week thirteen of our series Redefined.
-
We have now the thirteenth week on Redefined, especially on
-
the teaching of Jesus Christ at the Sermon of the
-
Mound that is in Matches chapter five, six and seven.
-
So all of us know that whenever Jesus guy said in.
-
His words it is true and powerful. Do you believe
-
in that?
-
Save my Bible but see Christ and acceleta a read letter,
-
my read letter edition of Bible. Oka that is the
-
words of Christ in us. So this morning we'll be
-
talking about one of the most important, uh and valuable
-
teachings of Christ to all humanity, including Christians and non
-
Christians as well. And this is how we call judging
-
other people. This is very critical. Judgment is critical as
-
a judgment critical. So let me be to you the
-
scripture that we have here right now. The Bible says,
-
judge not that you will not be judged. For with
-
the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged. And with
-
the measure you will use, it will be measured to you.
-
Why do you see the spect in your brother's eyes
-
satagallo samatam? Okay, But do that not the log in
-
your own eye? Or young logtaga malaking? Or how can
-
you say to your brother, let me take the spec
-
out of your eye, and there is the log in
-
your own eye, you hypocrite. First take the log out
-
of your own eye, and then you will see clarity
-
to the spec out of your brother's eye. Then, Jesus
-
transition in this verse in verse six, do not give
-
dogs what is holy, And do not throw your pearls
-
before pigs, lest they trample them und their foot and turn.
-
To attack you.
-
So all of us had been attacked by criticism. How
-
many of you have been criticized once in your lifetime?
-
Raise your hand?
-
How many of you have been criticized unjustly, unfairly, without
-
any basis?
-
Okay.
-
So, with the proliferation of social media nowadays, we see
-
a lot of attacks in the social media right, fake news,
-
damian to everyone squarreling each and the other and criticizing
-
each other in the venue of social media. But we
-
know that social media is a very informal way of
-
communicating to people. Right, even if you say a lot
-
of words in there, people may really misjudge you as
-
someone's very critical in nature. And maybe some of us
-
had been critical also one of our days of our life, right,
-
Nagi critical in taio with other people. Nowadays, Nagin critical
-
retire of other people's opinion, Nain critical entire out of
-
people's attitude and life of other people and character perhaps,
-
But you know, in the eyes of God, judgment is
-
very important for us to learn.
-
And this morning we'll be talking about a lot of.
-
Things that Jesus want us to learn about, talking about judgment.
-
There are some people who criticize other people left and
-
right Abe Kundi, Mamuna Okay, Jimbaut kilk Minshaka, Galitza Mundu
-
and Galitmo sah and Taia my wife freak. You see,
-
they criticized left and right doing.
-
Things and.
-
Versi Paramerican self pricious attitude. And if you're like that,
-
you're very critical of other people, and don't look into
-
yourself as being criticizing yourself as well, you're being unfair
-
to other people.
-
Can the Bible clearly state the ban.
-
The Bible clearistate judge not sabina, and judge not that
-
you may not be judged, for with the judgment you pronounce,
-
you would be judged, and with the measure you use,
-
it will be measured to you. The beginning of what
-
we call judgment stretch from us. Every kind of judgment
-
that we get to people has always has what a
-
consequential effect every judgment that we say, the words that
-
we say sometimes we mahata say most of the time guilty,
-
including myself nona create denial kapadia later on asisishika. Every
-
time we speak a word of judgment or criticism to
-
other people, there will be a consequential effect into our lives.
-
And some people when they criticize, they don't want to
-
be criticized, but criticized okay. Many people are like that.
-
What the Bible is saying is this, we first judge
-
our own action. There are two extremes that people are
-
doing their own lives. They try to evaluate themselves. They
-
may judge misjudge themselves. The first extreme is what we
-
call underestimating oneself. You judge yourself in evaluates. No, that's
-
what we call poverty mentality. We underestimators say I'm just
-
a poor boy.
-
Nobody loves me.
-
Okay, youman adult na related okaya?
-
My he.
-
My influence and no we under We judge ourselves as
-
if we are the tiniest enlitiest person in the world.
-
Extreme silas they're judging themselves at the other hand, and
-
the other extreme is over estimating oneself. Soegn okay, okay,
-
over estimating one as if I believe you call that,
-
I believe only in myself mentality?
-
Baw what salp bow what ma opinion?
-
Who alaian, I'm not higher people would like to really
-
recognize you as the all knowing omnation person.
-
In this entire world.
-
It's you know everything, And they judge themselves as someone's
-
so self rightous and knows everything in this world.
-
But you know, the Bible doesn't say so.
-
If we will to judge ourselves, it's always on the
-
basis of what the starting point of judging ourselves is.
-
The starting point is our sinfulness. When I judge myself,
-
I look at myself as someone like a sinner, not
-
really a saint. Automatically, it is God's grace upon me
-
that makes me a saint. But left to myself, okay,
-
ating land all of us, left to ourselves. We are
-
all sinners. Say, by grace.
-
Is some palagone and I'm just aden.
-
If we judge ourself, we are basing ourselves on the
-
sinfulness that we have a human being.
-
We don't judge beyond. We judge ourselves to people.
-
What is our measurement of judgment to people? Sometimes we
-
judge people based on their intellectual capacity and yan grade
-
one langa natapusan, well not in paklinan yan mahira plan yan.
-
We're just poor people. We don't listen to poor people. Okay,
-
remember we're rich and famous. We don't listen to them.
-
Or maybe probably in the physical appearance. Don't judge the
-
book but its cover. Sabigan is an unpopular ARTI style
-
because don't judge my brother, he's not a book. We
-
don't judge people based on physical appearance. Mind you moan,
-
whats a mokaian? Okay, I've seen a lot of pay
-
I'm a professional counselor my job is to counsel people
-
different nationality and different. I will tell you the truth
-
is Amayan, what as intellection.
-
What last titan?
-
It is the inner being that is far more important
-
than anyone else in this world. We are all singers
-
say by grace Church. So that's why judgment that Bible says,
-
Jesus says to us that judgment should be the very
-
office of our Lord, Jesus Christ. If we judge ours, well,
-
we judge according to our sinfulness, not according to our
-
own righteousness. Sometimes we judge people according to their job,
-
their work an uh tricycle driver okay, taxi driver, uber driver,
-
grab driver okay, carpentero.
-
So do we judge people based on their work?
-
Of course not we should And then some people will
-
say this is this is the kind of work that
-
they have. Then we have a very wrong notion malala
-
equate that we put people on the box and say
-
we don't put people in a box. You get what
-
I'm saying. In the ikh and land tia okay action
-
we don't judge or we will sell be judged. We
-
don't condemn or we will sell will be condemned. So
-
that Jesus himself is telling this not only to the disciples,
-
but also to the Pharisees, the religious people, or we
-
can see to all the Christians around the world. Jesus
-
saying this to all of us, including myself, that we
-
don't suppose to judge people. Judge not, so that you
-
will not be judge. And this is God's warning, Jesus warning.
-
In a parallel verse in the Bible, this is Jesus warning.
-
This is warning. When we judge, we put a verdict.
-
The best word, when you judge, put a verdict parasna.
-
When we condemn what happened, we put a curse on people.
-
Paula in Musha neilak musha shusha. That's what Jesus is
-
selling us in Luk six thirty seven. Judge not, and
-
you will not be judged, condemned not, and you will
-
not be condemned. Forgive this is what the Bible says,
-
and you will be living, will be forgiven freedom.
-
You know, Church, having this in mind and.
-
Having this in our hearts should change the way we
-
think about what life should be.
-
That's a hawaii okay ha ha okay, okay.
-
So there are some people who should change all of
-
what should change. Church, you know that judgment is a
-
very critical spirit. And before the end of the service
-
we will pray. If there are some critical spirit within us,
-
we will rebuild that and send it to the Cementari Halloween. Okay,
-
So this cycle of judgment, condemnation and forgiveness should always
-
be part and parcel of who we are as Christians.
-
It should be part of who we are in repentance
-
and in forgiveness. A cycle of judgment must end up
-
in repentance and forgiveness.
-
You understand, Church.
-
So when when never we judge people and we realize
-
that we're wrong, we need to repent, We need to
-
ask forgiveness. If some people criticize and ask for again,
-
let's forgive people. Recently, there was a chaos in showbiz.
-
You know what happened, right, I would not mention the
-
name a popular showb is personality criticize people who have depression? Right,
-
and he apologized publicly a national television he criticized. But
-
yet he apologized. Despit of forgiveness to him? Okay, or
-
as will be depressed if you don't forgive. Okay, but again,
-
become a romal paomai depressed. And I want to tell
-
you this depression is real, very real. Okay, I'm a
-
professional counsel, right, council people who are depressed. Okay, some
-
are successful overcoming it, some are not. They are now
-
into heaven. But really, depression is something that we really
-
have to look into. But you know, judgment, time and
-
time and time again will be the problem of humanity.
-
You agree with me, that is part and parcel of
-
our sinful nature, being critical towards others.
-
With all this the part and parcel to who we
-
are as Christian. But remember this, The Bible says that
-
God is just so nothing. God is just.
-
The Bible says, do not be deceived. God is not
-
bad for whatever once so that he will also want
-
He will Readnai pagushka paga.
-
Welcome that path makes nothing. Why because God is just,
-
so we have to be careful.
-
Pastor Sabinamana Bible, Blessed are those who are persecuted for
-
My sake, for thirst Kingdom of God. When people criticize
-
you and say a lot of nasty things to you,
-
you pray for them and let God allow his judgment
-
over them.
-
It's not for us to judge. At the end of
-
the day, God will vindicate us. Do you agree with me?
-
I had that experience twenty more than twenty years ago.
-
One person criticized me from head to toe and say, Lord,
-
Welasian bases everything.
-
But I choose to forgive. I choose to bestow my
-
blessing though and behooved. Things work out. People know what
-
is the truth.
-
I don't need to defend myself because the more we
-
defend ourselves toward things that people criticize on us. You
-
know what happened Lalan lunas a social media ahab and
-
trending yen okay away Latin followers more.
-
You manuel okay excited because engaging many excited comment the
-
ma burina and facebooks are not.
-
God gave us a great warning of not judging people
-
or else we suffer the consequences of doing such things
-
in our life.
-
We are Christians.
-
We don't waste time criticizing judging other people. Let God
-
be the judge. Our job today is to be a witness.
-
My job as a Christian and the opinion Latin opinion
-
wang positive and talk actionary ballads, yes, very sensitive. Shall
-
we make our life more productive than engaging with a
-
lot of nasty conversations that are not glorifying to God.
-
Short liand abatid simple admonition from from me.
-
No nothing patula to hmm okay hayammunasa nasa is hayama mahula.
-
Why because you are at peace with the peace of God.
-
Right because we are a witness, We are not judged.
-
We are a witness of God. Let's go to number two.
-
Let's read this verse. Why do you see the spect
-
of what is in your brother's eye, but do not
-
notice the log that is in your own eye? Or
-
how can you say to your brother, let me take
-
the spec out of your eye when there's a log
-
in your own eye hypocrette.
-
First take the log out of your own eye, and
-
then you.
-
Will see clearly to take the spec out of your
-
brother's eye. A wisdom the Lord. He used the eye
-
as an illustration for judgment. Our eye is the most
-
sensitive part in our.
-
Whole human body. But I grab nali non.
-
Okay sondros alcoholangal imo.
-
Bi.
-
Why because God is saying that we use the eye
-
to see the needs of people. You need the eye
-
to see how can we help people? And we use
-
the eye to help people to see the light of God.
-
Our second point is self judgment is to help each
-
other grow in grease.
-
Corect parallel at in sare link tobago. We need to change.
-
All of us needs to change. We need to grow
-
in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We need
-
to honestly face up our own sin and confess our
-
sins towards one another because it helps us a lot
-
to do what is great and what is proper and
-
what is pleasing in the eyes of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
Never look at others and think you are better because
-
the difference between you and them that you sin differently.
-
Langlan and you Cazilana and Josh hypen type and tie.
-
You accuse one person that this, but you're doing these
-
things for yourself. Okay, okay, okay, peel box, very witty,
-
very witty. But because of that sinfulness that we have,
-
remember this, we are all singers. Hyam Lang, I've been
-
mistreated many many times in my life, but never once
-
in my life I get even nevera.
-
Lord.
-
You don't take advantage about people, then God bless you, Lord,
-
God bless you. We have to make people feel in
-
the eyes of God. You can still change, and we
-
are not there to judge when we put curse on people.
-
You know why, because we learn not to see ourselves
-
in the light of how God sees us as people.
-
God wants us to be humble servants of the Lord,
-
and we don't make our elves in a way that
-
God would want.
-
Us to have in this lifetime.
-
We should examine our own action, our own attitudes, because
-
at the end of the day, Church, God always sees
-
our heart.
-
God always sees our heart.
-
If we have that kind of attitude, Church, God will
-
bless us even more. Do you agree with me maraaminana
-
Marama town Nandaya maraminan tao that she saying you don't
-
do the same. In the Ipho and I a on
-
we have to bless people who are those as meaning God.
-
Let's go to number three. Do not give dogs what
-
is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs,
-
lest they trample them under foot and turn an attack.
-
At the end of the day, God is the ultimate judge.
-
Been nothing.
-
God is the ultimate judge. Yes, we are all Christians.
-
We exercise we should exercise discernment because the Bible. No,
-
let's go back to the previous verse. Don't give dogs
-
what is holy during the time when priests eats on
-
the table, they don't put down or drap meat underneath
-
because there are a lot of dogs throwing around.
-
And then you do that.
-
Directly or intentionally, that is an holy thing before the
-
eyes of God.
-
But remember we are still living in this world.
-
Indeed, Mundo Christiano athme at Tackle said, jos, do you.
-
Agree with me? We are living in a very furious time.
-
Wherever you go in this world. Okay, wherever you go,
-
there are some people who will really be there to
-
really test your heart. Do I throw your purse before
-
the pigs. Okay, peers are very.
-
Valuable stone, but pigs made okay mala. But nonetheless God
-
wants us.
-
Not to be deceived in the park.
-
Contrast, Okay, Lord, we should learn also to look into
-
other people. Thems Poda Mattu to Karen Manancha, you must
-
learn to discern because not all people in this world
-
are like sheep in the nantao i t panka nating
-
where Mahamu tupaiamattatuba. Why because God wants us to be
-
like sheep. But remember there are some people in this
-
world who will come even to the church. Wolves in
-
sheep clothing in short, mascot marmi, mascot Sachristiano, papang God.
-
What God would like us to do is really to
-
take care of the sheep.
-
And through the years of our existence in our church
-
in Victory Green Hills, we have found so many people
-
like that. It's not from us, not that are members
-
of the church, but coming in and out try to
-
take advantage of people. They are like sheep involved. They
-
want to pretend. But we need to be discernful at
-
the end of the day. If we're discernful and we're
-
guided by people. That's why our church, our leaders in
-
the church will always tells you don't allow things for
-
you to be taken advantage. Let us know there will
-
be people who will say they are from Victory, they
-
are from there are Christians, okay, and a.
-
Lot of papangap whatsoever.
-
But the Bible says that we have to be very
-
discernful because at the end of the day it is God.
-
Who will judge them. Just the same.
-
For I'm not aware of anything against myself, why I'm
-
not the where thereby acquitted.
-
It is the Lord who judges me.
-
Therefore, do not pronounce judgment before time, before the Lord comes,
-
who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness,
-
and will disclose the purpose of the heart. Each one
-
will receive this commendation before the Lord. We share the
-
gospel to people. We share the gas to the sinners.
-
We share the gospel of those who are lost. We
-
share the gossip for those people who pretend to be saved.
-
We give the gospel for free to all people. We
-
share the gospel, but we don't allow people to trample
-
down the Gospel and the word of God. We will
-
make them realize that the Word of God is far
-
more important in our existence as individual. I shall say,
-
shall we read this one altogether, one to go? The
-
reason for judgment is not what we might condemn others
-
that we might be able to minister to them. Even
-
Mother Curious said, if you judge people, you have no
-
time to love them. We have seen people who came
-
into church not change intending to treat other people, but
-
they come to realize, with the power of the Holy Spirit,
-
they were changed. And we don't put people down just
-
because their lives are like those things n's the things.
-
But we give them chance, hope, and unconditional love because
-
God loves people, and God wants people to be in
-
one accord with our life as well. Jesus said again
-
in John twelve forty six to forty eight, if we
-
have come into the world as a light, so no
-
one who believes in me should stay in darkness. If
-
anyone hears my word, but that not keep them, do
-
not judge that person, for I do not come to
-
judge the world, but what to save the world. Because
-
miss and a gigain problem and not the magapatit, we
-
become self righteous and we look at others are.
-
Not Christians Christian Kabba but Christian.
-
We become too very unreachable that people became shan away
-
Christian and maraamimbawel Jian. And we have to really make
-
us stand and say no, we want to engage with people.
-
That's why our church is engaging a lot of people
-
out out there. You might oppress, so you might out
-
of school youth.
-
A lot of people.
-
We reach me out because we believe that Jesus came
-
here to save the world and not to judge them.
-
We have seen a lot of things happening in this
-
world because God would want these people to come into
-
the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The
-
gospel is free, but it is never cheap because the gospel,
-
through the Gospel, we were bought by the blood of
-
the Lamb. And there's a judge for the one who
-
rejects me and does not accept my words. The very
-
words I've spoken will condemn them at the last day.
-
See the last day, God will separate the sheep from
-
the goat.
-
Okay, so omaga bosses or bosses can being, and we
-
can bring can being, then you will be a sheep
-
once again.
