Well, who doesn’t find it a “little difficult” to follow Christ’s example.

A little difficult? There is no one alive who could live to the standard expressed in Matthew, Chapter Five. We call ourselves Christians but we deceive ourselves. No wonder we are told not to judge!

I'm the first to acknowledge that I'm the worst example of a Christian, the Lord knows I have my flaws that I struggle with daily despite loving Him with a full heart. We all fall short.

Having said that, the Bible does not tell us not to judge. Keep reading and you'll see that we're told not to judge others by a standard higher than we hold ourselves to.

"Don't judge others" is often misconstrued.
