ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus tells us that we should not judge one another. To follow this command is to acknowledge the God is the only true Judge, and recognizes that we are all equally sinful and deserving of God's judgment. Apart from God's grace, we have no hope. So rather than point out other's mistakes and failures, we ought to humbly acknowledge our own and allow God to heal us. If we do take the "plank" out of our own eye, God can use that "lumber" to build something good for others in the way of empathy and kind instruction.

In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus provides the logical consequence of making God our Master, rather than money: no need to worry. If God is truly our provider and sustainer, and he loves and values us, then we will be taken care of. This requires faith, though! We won't get everything we want, but if we pr…
