In Matthew 7, we see Jesus address the destructive nature of judging others, a behavior that can be as damaging as cancer to relationships. In this passage, Jesus calls His followers to avoid harsh, hasty, and hypocritical judgments. Instead, He urges us to prioritize addressing our own sins before helping others with theirs. The tendency to be critical and judgmental is deeply rooted in human nature. Jesus warns against this toxic behavior, which can lead to broken marriages and divided churches. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:1-5 emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, humility, honesty and mercy. He uses the metaphor of a log in one's eye to illustrate the absurdity of judging others while ignoring one's own faults. This teaching is not a prohibition against discernment or addressing sin, but a call to avoid a fault-finding spirit. Jesus Himself called out sin, but He did so with the intent of bringing people to repentance and salvation, not condemnation. The passage also highlights the need for discernment in sharing the gospel. Jesus advises against casting pearls before swine, meaning we should be wise in how we share the message of the kingdom and how much time and energy we invest on behalf of those who show no interest. This requires both elements of truth and grace, recognizing that not everyone will be receptive to the gospel. Sinclair Ferguson called this principle taught here “The wisdom of appropriate activity” Ultimately, Jesus calls us to love one another as He has loved us. By marveling at God's grace and mercy towards us, we can counter a critical spirit and cultivate a heart of compassion towards others.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus addresses the heart of humanity, challenging the superficiality of external religion and urging a deeper, genuine worship. He confronts the issues of hypocrisy, materialism, and anxiety, emphasizing the importance of heart motives in our actions. Jesus calls us to give, pray, and fast with sincerity, focusing on God rather than seeking human approval. He highlights the futility of storing earthly treasures, urging us to prioritize heavenly treasures that are eternal and secure. Our relationship with money and possessions often reveals where our heart truly lies, and Jesus warns against the deceitfulness of riches, which can easily capture our trust and devotion. Jesus also addresses anxiety, a prevalent issue in our culture, and offers a kingdom perspective that counters worry. He reminds us of God's provision for creation, emphasizing our greater value and the assurance that God will meet our needs. Anxiety, he explains, is a distraction from kingdom pursuits and a waste of time. Instead, Jesus calls us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, promising that all our needs will be met. This kingdom perspective invites us to live with a generous heart, trusting in God's provision and focusing on eternal values. The kingdom of God is an upside-down kingdom, clashing with worldly values. Jesus teaches us to live with a kingdom perspective, prioritizing eternal treasures over temporary gains. He calls us to cultivate a generous heart, reflecting God's generosity, and to live free from anxiety, trusting in God's provision. By seeking first the kingdom, we align our lives with God's purposes, experiencing the peace and joy that come from living in His will.
