Justice and Judges
Well..this week has been a spirit filled week for me......Just came back from service pledging to the work of a new building and right before that an overnight prayer meeting and choir practice.
That was my first overnight prayer meeting ever since the time I stood in City Harvest and I truly enjoyed it. Though there were times where I went into sporadic sessions of quietness but generally I prayed like I never prayed before. Kudos to Cheng How, Cheryl and Qiwei too for sustaining till 5 am.
Prayer meeting started off with a short little pep talk by Pastor Kong on the issue of the NKF saga. And the words he said struck me so deeply. It is so easy to kick someone in the gut when he is down but it is so hard to stretch out a hand and lift that person up. Don't get me wrong, I do not condone the actions of TT Durrai (sp?). But who am I to judge him for being a bad person. Am I God? Am I more righteous than him? I am a person of sins too. I am not perfect. Through his "actions", he did aid a lot of kidney patients and what have I done besides giving up seats in the train.
This lesson has taught me to look at myself in the mirror before judging a person. Yes he did wrong but I will not condemn him as a person.
Luke 6:37-42
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
