"You have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, ..." (Romans 2:1)
Beloved in Christ, we in this One, Big and Happy Family send you warm greetings with God's love and blessing.
Today, we are in a society where we see ourselves as "all and all", epitome of wisdom, always "I" before others, in our mistakes, we see it as human frailty, in others they should be given public execution.
In moment of distress we seek for listening ears to hear us out, perhaps with some consoling words. But when the ball is in our courts we becomes " a second hand" of the clock - too busy to listen or give some comforting words.
In the light of this, we occupy the highest chamber of human court, putting on magnifying glasses to look into the weakness of others, then give out judgment, based on sentiments, adorned with malice and hatred.
Today, let us hear this out:
You have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, ..." (Romans 2:1)
Where do we go from here? Many will ask. We ought to bear with the weakness of others, to see ourselves in the same pair shoe of others, one or two words of comfort can change the situation.
Absolutely, no one is free from this, we are all weak and short lived. We owe others explanation.
As we have been invited to re-asses our lives today, St. Paul further reminded us what I can referred to as "end of discussion" thus:
“He will render to every man according to his works; ...". (Romans 2:6)
Finally, let our breath be for others, let our living change the situation of people around us, in correcting let us not forget we were once in the same shoe.
Peace! Be with you.
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray 🙏
Dearest Lord, You desire that we live and grow in holiness. We acknowledged with thanks Your faithfulness upon us, grant we beseech Thee to see You in others with pure intention, and always give our leaning shoulder when strength fails. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
