"Don't you judge!" Matthew 7:1.
Jesus keeps meddling in our favorite social pastimes. Why can't we keep on passing judgment on others' failures and foibles? Well, fact is, we can (and do). Here's the deal, though. If we do, we get judged in the same way, same standard. And that same way and standard by which we're looking for specks in others' eyes blinds us to the 2x4 sticking out of our own. How do we even think to be able to see at all? Jesus keeps calling: Repent! Kingdom of God. New covenant. Different pastime.
We walk with a brother or sister today, true yokefellows in the path of obedience. And together we give thanks to our Father who sees us clearly yet calls us by faith righteous.
