Sawdust and planks

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3

You can read: Matthew 7:1-5

Sometimes there are verses in the Bible that make you think about theological stuff, which sometimes needs fancy high-falutin terms in order to get an explanation. Sometimes, there are verses that are so straightforward and practical that only a fool would miss its meaning.

Take a quick look at what Jesus said about judging. Simple, yet straight to the point. Why look at others when you can't see the fault with yourself? Very true. There are times when we get upset with others because we find a little bit of our fault in the things they do. Unconsciously, we correct others because of faults we cannot correct ourselves.

So instead of quickly pointing an accusing finger on others, check yourself out first, maybe it's you who needs a fixing, before you try to fix others.
