Luke 23:34 (NIV) Jesus said, “Father, forgive them,for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
“Yes, that’s right back then, they truly didn’t know what they were doing, I believe, but then Jesus came! Today I am sorry, there’s no excuse. I just don’t get it, it’s like too much information has us stupid?” Matthew 7:1-6 We are not to judge others! But this is not a judgement, I am having a very difficult time believing people today really don’t know what they are doing. It’s one thing that the worldly people may have problems, but the faithful Christians? Then there’s definitely a glitch in the system of the WORD.
If Jesus didn’t come to judge or condemn, who do we think we are to do it to others? Yet claim to be following him. Jesus final instructions to his disciples before ascending to heaven was to make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19. Acts 1:8 But you will recieve power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. No where is it written that Jesus commissioned any of his disciples to be judge, jury and persecutors to all nations. When that time comes I am pretty sure God is well capable.
I don’t expect the world or people of God to be all good and perfect, this is not heaven, I get it. But we have to check ourselves as to what’s in our minds and hearts, because it is the vulnerable part of us that is easily lead to temptation. It’s enough that we have to be wrestling with the flesh, and the world and it’s desires. Spiritual discipline begins with a strong relationship with the Lord. “Don’t fool yourselves, no one but the Lord can help you with that, so start asking as scriptures delcares, “ask, and it shall be given you,” Matthew 7:7
I pray for us all who can’t see the errors of our ways and may the Lord enlightened us that we do. We came to far to turn back now. All hatred, jealousy, racism; any evil intent towards each other has to stop.
