9For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. 10You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. 11It is written:
“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will confess to God.’”a
12So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Lord Jesus, I once was so judgemental, and such a hypocrite! I was so enslaved to my own sins yet I looked so down on others. I was a Pharisee. Is this creeping back into my life? Please no Jesus, don’t let that happen. Please remind me of my foolishness and my weakness. I can see my weakness just in the last few days. Give me a strong love for others and a desire to touch them with Your love right where they are in their lives. Let me never look down on anyone, ever. *Romans14*
