Episode 166 | "Judge Not" — What Does It Actually Mean? | Matthew 7:1-6 | The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached
"Judge not" might be the two most misunderstood words in the entire Bible. In this episode, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson unpack Jesus' command in Matthew 7:1-6 — what it doesn't mean, what it does mean, and what it looks like to live it out in our marriages, friendships, and everyday relationships. The guys also recap the Truist Championship and preview the PGA Championship at Aronimink.
We are continuing our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world. In today's passage, Jesus turns from personal piety to our horizontal relationships with one another — and there's hardly a bigger turn off than a judgmental Christian.
