ON JUDGING OTHERS


JOHN 17: 20-26
ON JUDGING OTHERS

“John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.”   Mark 1:6 (NIV)

I just don't understand how Elizabeth and Zachariah could let that boy grow up so wild.  Of course, I'm not sure Zachariah had much to say about it!  And he's nothing up against that cousin of his, that Jesus...well, you don't expect much to come out of Nazareth, but, honestly...keeping company with foreigners and tax collectors and that woman from Magdala!
I can tell you that both of those boys are going to come to a bad end!
Yep!

Lord, keep us from judging others on the basis of what just may not be the criteria You have in mind.  Keep us open and receptive to all Your children, remembering that EVERY face we see may truly be Your image.  Amen.
