… So I want you to say this with me. Say judge not and you will not be judged. Judge not. And with the measure you use, it'll be measured back to you. I need you to say it one more time like you drank coffee this morning. Everybody say, judge not and you will not be judged. And with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Look at Luke chapter 6 verse 37. It says, judge not and you will not be judged. No, no, y'all don't have to just let, this is me now. It's me. Condemn not and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will it be put into your bosom. the last last verse for with the same measure that you use it'll be measured back to you this may shock you but the word money was nowhere in those verses but every time we hear Luke 6 38 it's at offering time give hey y'all about it sit can't toy out and it will be given back to you good measure press down Shaken together and run. …
… Okay, I just I just want us to be very clear. So I want you to say this statement with me. Say judge not and you will not be judged. And with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Turn to Luke 6 37 and I want us to say that one more time. Everybody say judge not and you will not be judged. Come on say it like you drink coffee this morning and with the measure you use it will be measured back to you. Look at the first sentence and the last sentence of Luke 37 and 38. It says, judge not and you will not be judged. No, you don't got to say it. You don't got to say it. Just calm down. Judge not and you will not be judged. Condemn not and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you. good measure press down shaken together and running over will it be put into your bosom for with the same measure you use it will be measured back to you now this may shock you but the word money was never mentioned in that scripture either and and it's funny that every time we hear Luke 36 or Luke 38, it's that offering time.

… And with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Go to Luke 6 verse 37 and look at the first sentence of this passage and the last sentence. It says, judge not and you shall not be judged. Condemn not and you shall not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Watch this. Verse 38. Give and it will be given to you. good measure pressed down shaken together and running over will it be put into your lap for with the same measure that you use it will be measured back to you now this may shock you but the word money is nowhere in that verse either yet every time we hear luke 6 38 it's that offering time give and it will be give it back to you good measure shake your nookie come on somebody shake and like that we do all of that I've done it before.

… especially when you yourself are guilty of doing the same thing. Let me give you another verse that I think is a good commentary on Matthew 7 verse 1, also from the Gospels, Luke chapter 6, verses 36 and 37. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Now this is simply an extrapolation of Matthew 7, verse 1. What he's saying is, if I have some problems, Notice the if. I do. I've got some big ones. I need your mercy. I need your help. I need your forgiveness. I need your love. I need your support. I don't need your judgment. I don't need your condemnation. That doesn't mean I expect you to say, oh, whatever you're doing is all right, if what I'm doing is not all right. if it is sin, you need to lovingly rebuke me, but you have no right to judge me. …
Now you see, he's saying the judging that he's talking about is unmerciful judgment. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned. Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Here our Lord makes it very clear what he's talking about. He is talking about a censorious, unloving, unmerciful, condemning attitude toward another human being. And our Lord says, don't do it. God is the only one who has the right and the prerogative to pass that kind of judgment. Jesus said in John chapter 5 and verse 22, the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. The same Jesus Christ who wants to be your Savior will one day be your judge, but all judgment belongs to him. That is to condemn. And if you try to condemn another human being, what you do is to usurp God's authority. God has not appointed you to be the prosecuting attorney. As a matter of fact, the devil himself is the accuser, and when you do it, you're acting just like the devil. …
