Correction
I am the servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. To say He has led me down paths traveled by few of my fellow servants is quite an understatement. So it is inevitable that He has shown me things many of my fellow servants have not seen and may never see. While I do try to remain focused upon the task at hand, to be totally a Spirit- led man, so long as I remain bound within this body of flesh my carnal side will impress itself upon my thoughts and sometimes even in my words. And it is from this carnal side I find my mind wandering into judging my fellow servants, even as I demand my fellow servants refrain from judging me. So I’m not surprised, nor do I at all resent it when My Lord corrects me using passages of scripture. Today it was this one, from Romans 14:
4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord;[a] and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose[b] and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Thank You for correcting me once again, Lord Jesus!
