'Do not judge, and you will not be judged.' So begins our passage from Luke for today. These are well known words but not always well understood words. They sound good to our cultural ears, we like the idea of not judging others. Although as we look around we see a world that is becoming increasingly censorious and quick to write people off. We also know that Jesus in saying this is making a moral command, a judgement if you like. Something He does quite often. So how does this work? What place is there in the Christian community for correction and for calling something right and others wrong? How can we do that in a way that builds community rather than fractures it? In a way that brings peace rather than division and turmoil? Jesus teaches us about that in this wonderful section of His sermon to His disciples. Bible Text: Luke 6:37-42
