John 12: 44 - 48

Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

“If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.”

Christians have a favorite verse, John 3:16. The VERY NEXT VERSE says that Jesus came not to judge.

It is almost a perfect mirror to the verses you bring up.

And yet, Christians are so judgemental that they insist on telling others they’re sinners, they insist on delivering bad news instead of sticking with the good news.

Convincing people of sin, righteousness , and judgement is the job of the Holy Spirit. It is NOT our job. We have the easy task of telling ONLY the good news.

I am seeing that more clearly with each passing day.
