Scripture: Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? – Luke 6:41
An old writer says, “Men are more apt to use spectacles to behold other men’s faults, than looking–glasses to behold their own.”
A man can see a very small speck of dust in his neighbor’s eye, while he is entirely unaware of the great spot on his own. We should imagine that a beam in a man’s eye would so blind him that he could not see the mote in his brother’s eye.
As Jesus expresses it, however, the man with the beam is the very one who sees the mote and thinks himself competent to pull it out.
A vain man is the first to detect vanity in another. A bad–tempered person is most apt to be censorious toward another who displays irritability Hold other men’s. Rude people are the first to be hurt by the rudeness of others.
If we are quick to perceive faults in others, the probability is that we have far greater faults ourselves. This truth ought to make us exceedingly careful in our judgement and modest in our expression of censure.
