Romans 2:1-4
1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show
contempt for the riches of his kindness,
forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
Reflection
Our scripture today reminds us that we should not judge others. We are sinners. We do not trust God fully. This is a problem with the church. You see that we need people to trust us to know the love of God. When one of us thinks we are better or thinks they have the ability to judge others it damages that trust. Why do you think judging is such a problem? How do you think it hurts the cause of Christ?
