       Notice the self-evaluation that needs to occur here. Instead of looking at and focusing on others, Jesus points us to look at ourselves. This one is tuff. It requires us to surrender our own self-righteousness. We obviously want to think that we are right in whatever belief it is that we hold. We want to believe that the other person is totally wrong. A lot of times it is in between in that we are right, but also the other person is right. I know, that hurts. It’s just the simple truth that, due to our varying perspectives, we are not always completely right and the other person completely wrong. And besides all of this, sometimes we are not in a position to judge in the first place. We are upset with a brother or sister over something that, if we would just take a look at ourselves in the mirror, we find that we do all the time, or do something like it all the time. We are upset with others for things that we do ourselves. This really is pathetic. Regardless, we don’t want God upset with us because we are too strong in our disagreement with another that we cannot let it go.
