Deep dives
Jesus' Teaching on Judging Others
Jesus' exhortation not to judge others does not mean Christians should ignore or approve immoral behavior. In Matthew 5:1-7:29 and Luke 6:17-49, Jesus discusses moral instruction and expects his followers to distinguish between good and evil. While we should be forgiving and merciful towards others, it doesn't mean we should ignore immoral behavior. Admonishing the sinner is a spiritual work of mercy (James 5:20). Jesus emphasizes treating others as we want to be treated (Matthew 5:43-48).
