In Corinthian 4 Paul said that he didn't think much of what others thought about him because he said he didn't judge himself and that he knew nothing of himself, he who judged him is the LORD. The word judge in the original greek text is scrutinise - I don't scrutinise myself because I know nothing of myself. How often do we scrutinise and judge ourselves? How often do we punish ourselves, examine ourselves and pick ourselves a part. God simply does not expect us to do this, he expects us to be free and allow him to bring up the issues in his way and in his time so, give yourself a break tonight Christian not from what I've said but what from the original scriptures tell us, let God be our judge because when he judges it's always pure, peaceable, fruitful and easy to be entreated.
I don't know about you but I'll go with Paul, nobody (other than spirit-filled loving believers) judge me, no unclean spirit, devilish spirit or unclean is allowed to judge me. He who judges me is the Lord so, give yourself a break, live in the freedom Christ bought you, he was on his hands and knees being beaten for all of your sin yesterday, today and tomorrow in thought, word and deed. God bless you tonight and enjoy your freedom in Jesus, the blood-soaked ground at calvary was the punishement for your peace, so take it and enjoy.
Examine yourself - Bread and the Wine - 'Examine yourself to make sure you are taking the bread and the wine worthily by examining yourself in this way - Am I still trusting in the finished work of Christ for my salvation, am I living in the Grace he has bought for me and am I depending on him for it all, because we all so easily forget...
