Good Human Relations


Do not judge so that you will not be judged.  “For the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?  Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?”

“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.”

Matthew 7:1-5

Jesus was serious when it came to teaching good human relations.  He wanted us to know that we cannot win people to the Gospel, if we beat them up by pointing out all their character flaws.  And, that the truth is that we all have plenty of flaws which need fixing because people are not perfect. 

Jesus wants us to love others unconditionally.  And, generously share the Gospel message with everyone.

It is when people receive Jesus as their Lord, Master and Savior that the life transforming work of God begins.  And, our part in it is to be there as their cheerleaders.
