“Therefore
let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this – not to put an
obstacle or stumbling block in a brother’s way.” Romans 14:13
We
are called to take the good news to the world.
The world is filled with people who have all kinds of peculiar customs
and habits. These differences open us up
to judgmental thinking about things which have nothing to do with salvation. When we start trying to fix up people so they
will be good enough to come to Jesus, we end up turning people off.
Paul
warns us to move beyond the issue of customs which we may find unacceptable and
into the realm of taking the Gospel to everyone without prejudice. All we need to do is deliver the
message: The free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God
will do the rest.
