Luke 3-8

I really like the teachings and parables that Luke shares with us in chapter 6. One that really struck me the most was in verses 41-42. "And why beholdest thou the mote [splinter] that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest no the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own wyw? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye." I think that allot of us can realte this to how we judge others in the church. Sometime we might look at another person in church and be quick to judge on how they dress or act. But the very act of us judging them makes us at fault more because we are not being very christ like. How can we judge others when we are not perfect. This scripture is very blunt in calling us hypocrites when we judge because we should not be doing it. I also likehow it advices us to work on ourselves first instead of trying to fix others. I know that sometimes in church i can be very judgemental but i will try to think of how i can work on being a better and more optomistic person.
