Matthew 7:1-6

             It's very easy to see the faults, mistakes, and problems that other people have. These shortcomings are so obvious on others and they are there for everybody. Even the President can't get all his policies in order. Even sports heros sometimes don't make the winning basket or don't hit the winning home run.
             Even pastors miss the point on sermons or fail to take care of someone in need. Even your spouse and your parents and your children fail to reach their full potential from time to time. Yes, in just about everyone you meet it is easy to see that others are not perfect.
             It should be pretty obvious by now that other people have been judging you, also, and that you don't reach perfection, either.
             It is so much easier to see the faults in others than to see these faults in ourselves. And it is so much easier to see the sins of others than to see these sins in ourselves. Even though we don't see them in ourselves they are there, whether we deny them or not. And because of our human nature, we can't cure our faults or our sins - no matter what we do, we will always have faults and we will always have sins.
             Yes, what we do won't cure faults and sins, but what God does has already cured the problem. Jesus came to earth and died as a sacrifice so that we might be forgiven and then he rose from death to share eternity with his followers.
             God doesn't do this for perfect people, those without faults and sins, God does this for you and me.
