Jesus dicit

Word 240 of 310Love

As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

John 12:47

BSB

Read John 12 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (John 12)

Not to judge

These are the last words Jesus speaks in public in the Gospel of John. A summary of his whole ministry.

Whoever hears his words and doesn't believe, he doesn't judge. He came to save. It is a word for Christians who are quick to judge others. If he doesn't, why should we?

Question for today

Whom am I judging, while Jesus wants to save them?

Prayer

Lord, you came to save, not to judge. Make me like that. Amen.
