For the last four Sundays I have been using the theme "Through the Eyes of Jesus." Today with the help of God I will probably end the series. We have looked at the Dangers of religion, the Futility of dependence on works, the Need of Everyone to be Saved, and last week the Problems involved with Worry. Today I want to look at our quickness to find fault and judge and prejudge people that Christ has no problem with!

It is so easy to judge people. Are we to replace the function of Christ? Is it our job to find all of the sins or all the sinners to point out their shortcomings? I think not!
