SCRIPTURE READING
Luke 6:37-42
37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
39 And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? 40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. 41 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the plank in your own eye? 42 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

Scripture Union Daily Guide 28th January 2026 —Outline
Consider Luke 6:37 critically. Is Jesus telling us not to correct our brother when he does wrong? Far from that. Jesus is addressing the matter of the heart in this passage. He knows that our hearts’ condition and motive will differ whenever we spot a wrongdoing in a brother’s life. We will correct and restore an erring brother, but Jesus forbids judging or condemning him (see John 12:47). The reality, oftentimes, when we take a “Holier than thou” stance, we end up indulging in “greater sins” (Luke 6:41-42). In the old adage, the kettle calling the pot, black or worse still, the pig calling the cat dirty.
Luke 6:38 may be one of the most widely quoted scriptural passages in our Christian gatherings. But it is mainly quoted in relation to tithes and offerings. It is true that those who are givers will receive God’s blessings (see Proverbs 19:17), however, the context of this discourse is judging and forgiving (Luke 6:37). Judgment and forgiveness are like seeds. You reap multiple of what you sow. If you judge others, you will be judged more severely. Same with forgiving.
And So
Since you will certainly reap whatever you sow, what are you really sowing – condemnation or helping to restore those who are backsliding?
Prayer of Faith
Psalms 91:15
Insight
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer
Help me, dear Lord, to look out for every erring brother/sister around me and with compassion, work towards their recovery instead of judging and condemning them.
