Day 89 - JUDGES 1-2 & Luke 7:1-30
"Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:37-38 ESV)
Jesus is teaching us to be...
● nonjudgmental
● forgiving and
● giving.
He then promises that we will receive the same in return. Of course, the ultimate motivation for following these directions is to simply to...
● obey
● serve and
● glorify God.
Jesus clearly wants us to know that when we live for Him by living for others, we can’t lose. He put it this way in Matthew’s Gospel:
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ” (Matthew 6:33)
Lord Jesus, help me to be nonjudgmental, forgiving and giving. May my motivation be Your dyeing love for me. Amen.
