Luke 6:41-42 (New International Version) 41"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? 42How 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.
Well, talk about convicting me this morning. I'm sure we have all been guilty of this even if just by some small thought we have had.
Jesus doesn't mean we should ignore wrongdoing, but we shouldn't be so worried about others' sins that we overlook our own. We often ratonalize our sins by pointing out the same mistakes in others. What kinds of specks in others' eyes are easiest for you to critize? Remember your own "planks" when you feel like citizing, & you may find that you have less to say.
That was my commentary in my Bible. Geez.... I'm guilty! Something I have been working on & will continue to.
How does the Bible convict you??
