It is very easy to judge someone, especially when you hear only one side of a story. A person makes a villain out of another person to build oneself up in the eyes of others to destroy the “villain.” When a person is judged based on what others say, especially without asking the “villain,” is that person being judged rightly? Jesus had a comparable experience because He was doing the work of the Father.
Matthew 9 tells about Jesus healing the sick. “But the Pharisees were saying, ‘He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons." (Matthew 9:34) The “religious leaders of the day” were trying to destroy what God was doing through His Son, Jesus. The religious leaders plotted against Jesus verbally in front of Jesus and behind closed doors, and even in the darkness of the night.
Let me ask you a question. Do those who carry the Spirit of God, that is, the true nature of God inside them feel they will be exempt from such attacks as Jesus endured? I do not think so, because the true nature of God will rub those of the synagogue of Satan the wrong way. The attacks will come from both inside and outside the church.
The next time someone infers that someone is either a “villain” or a bad person, do not pass judgment on that person; leave that to God. You have no idea the background of the situation, the truth in the situation, or what that person is going through that could compel him or her to act that way. However, God knows!
Therefore, you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things (Romans 2:1-2 NASB).
