The Peculiar Kingdom of God & Its People ~ Blessed are the Hypercritical?

Today, as we open the Word of God. We will continue our series over the sermon on the mount, found in Matthew chapters five through seven, regarding the peculiar kingdom of God and its people. Today, we turn to a passage everyone seems to know but misunderstand—followers of Jesus and not followers of Jesus alike. Matthew 7:1, where the first two words famously say, “Judge not.” However, as we will discover, this does not mean Jesus has forbidden all judgment because when we look at the full context of these two words, verses one through six, we see what Jesus is teaching here about how we, His people, are to make sound judgments in the proper manner and way He has with us.
