POSTED: NO HUNTING

MATTHEW  7:1-5

INTRO:  THIS SCRIPTURE TEACHES US  TO JUDGE NOT, AND IT GOES ON TO TELL US WHY BEHOLDEST THOU THE MOTE THAT IS IN THY BROTHERS EYE, BUT CONSIDERETH NOT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE?    AND IN VERSE 5 TELLS US TO FIST CAST OUT THE BEAM THAT IS IN THINE OWN EYE; AND THEN SHALT THOU SEE CLEARLY TO CAST OUT THE MOTE OUT OF THY BROTHER’S EYE.

?         SO HE WARNS US ABOUT MOTE FINDING

?         IM NOT TALKING ABOUT  HUNTING LIKE DEER, BEAR, DUCK HUNTING.  IM TALKING ABOUT  HUNTING THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY IN HEAR HAS DONE.   WHEN YOU GO HUNTING FOR GAME YOU HUNT TO KILL.

?         THE HUNTING IM TALKING ABOUT DEALS WITH JUDGING, MOTE HUNTING, FINDING FAULT.   AND WHEATHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT WHEN YOU GO JUDGING, MOTE AND FAULT FINDING, YOU ARE GOING TO KILL, TO HURT, TO DESTROY THAT PERSON OR INDIVIDUAL.

?         JESUS TELLS US TO JUDGE NOT.  JUDGE MEANS SOMEONE WHO PASSES JUDGEMENT IN A COURT.   THERES NOT BUT ONE THAT CAN PASS JUDGEMENT AND THAT IS GOD.

?         ROMANS 14:10            1COR.4:4-5          HEB. 12:23

1- WE ARE NOT TO BE EAGER TO SPY OUT OUR NEIGHBORS FAULTS   V.1

?         TO MANY ARE QUICK TO FIND THE MOTE IN SOMEONE ELSES EYE AND NOT NOTICE THE BEAM IN THEIR OWN EYE.

?         YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND FAULT, BUT REMEMBER WE ARE TO JUDGE NOT.

?         ITS NOT CHRISTIAN, AND NOT FULFILLING THE LAW OF GOD.

2- WE ARE NOT TO SPEAK HASTILY OF THE SINS OF OUR NEIGHBOR

?         WE NEED TO PRAY FOR THEM

?         A READINESS TO SPY OUT OUR BROTHERS FAULTS IS ONE THING, BUT ITS ANOTHER THING TO BE HASTY TO SPEAK OF THEM AND POINT THEM OUT.

?         REMEMBER THE SAME HAND THAT IS POINTING ONE FINGER, ALSO HAS  THREE MORE POINTING BACK .

?         YE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.

?         YOU LET THE PREACHER MESS UP, OR THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER OR THE CHOIR LEADER, THE WORD WILL GET AROUND AND GET AROUND FAST.   BEWARE OF GOSSIP!

3- WE ARE TO WATCH AGAINST AN UNLOVING SPIRIT THAT WILL ASCRIBE THE WRONG MEANING AND MOTIVES TO OUR NEIGHBORS CONDUCT.

?         YOU DON’T  HAVE TO TAKE A GUN TO KILL SOMEONE, ALL YOU NEED IS TO  RUN YOUR MOUTH AND FLAP THAT TONGUE!

?         WE NEED TO SHOW LOVE, INSTEAD OF HOSTILITY, YOU WILL NEVER HELP OR BE A BLESSING TO ANYONE IF THERE IS NO LOVE SHOWN.

?         WHAT IF PEOPLE POINTED THEIR FINGER AT YOU EVERYTIME THEY SEEN YOU.

?         DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR, THE DEVILS JOB IS TO DISTORT THE TRUTH TO FURTHER HURT  AND  DESTROY A PERSONS TESTIMONY.   AND BY THE WAY YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A PERSON IS GOING THRU OR FACING, SO DON’T BE QUICK TO JUDGE.

?         WE NEED TO DO UNTO OTHERS AS WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO US.

?         DON’T SPEAK OF SOMEONE ELSES  FAULTS OR MISTAKES AS YOU WOULD FEEL IT TO BE UNFAIR TO HAVE YOUR FAULTS AND MISTAKES TALKED ABOUT.

CONCLUSION:   SO EVER HOW  YOU JUDGE SOMEONE ELSE YOU WILL BE JUDGED THE SAME WAY.(V.2)

?         VERSE 2 -  GALATIONS 6:7-8

?         WHEN PEOPLE HAVE LAND AND THEY DON’T WANT ANYONE HUNTING ON IT, THEY PUT UP POSTED OR NO HUNTING SIGNS. I BELIEVE JESUS WAS SAYING HERE DON’T GO THERE ITS POSTED, NO HUNTING.

?         WE ARE NOT TO  JUDGE ONE ANOTHER.

?         VERSE 3-4,  ITS EASY TO FIND FAULT AND LOOK AT EVERYONE ELSES SIN, AND OVERLOOK OUR OWN.

?         VERSE 5,     THOSE THAT JUDGE, AND DOSEN’T  CONSIDER THE BEAM  IN THEIR OWN EYE, JESUS CALLS THEM HYPOCRITES.

?         SO LETS COME ASK GOD TO HELP US NOT TO JUDGE NOR FIND FAULT IN OTHERS.
