![]() ![]() In John 7:24 He says to the Jews “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” Here we have our Lord telling a group of people to “judge righteous judgment.” If this judgement were the same as that of Matthew 7:1, it would be a contradiction, but there are no contradictions in the Bible. In this instance they question His authority and rebuke Him for healing on the Sabbath day. ![]() In John 7 the Lord Jesus has one of many run-ins with Jews who are critical of His ministry. But what exactly are we being told not to judge here? Does this mean that we should not condemn sin? Should we just ignore sin, or are we correct in calling sin, sin? To answer this question we must go to God’s Word (the Bible). One of the most popular verses in Scripture is Matthew 7:1 – “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” It is commonly referred to when the sin of an individual or group is condemned.
