Luke 12:57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?
I am not qualified to judge. I am human. I make mistakes. I get it wrong repeatedly. I misunderstand situations and people all the time. I have biases–that I understand and that I am totally unaware of. There is so much that I don’t know, and I honestly don’t even know what I don’t know.
Luke 12:58a As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way,
I am not qualified to judge. But I don’t have to. Jesus paid the price for my sins. I didn’t earn that gift. I don’t deserve that gift. But I am His deeply loved child, and He freely died so I could live. He took my place. He died for you, too.
Luke 12:58b …or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.
Lord, I am not qualified to judge. And yet, I judge every single day. Forgive me. Help me to see others and to love others as You see me and love me. Help me not to judge but to love. Thank You for doing that for me. Amen.
Luke 12:59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”
Have a blessed day.
