From Matthew 7:1-6 (part of "The Sermon on the Mount"), the Lord Jesus "switched gears" from having taught about having a right perspective toward material things ("The Treasure Rule" - Lesson 45 and "The Worry Rule" - Lesson 46) to having a right perspective toward people! In this lesson, we discuss both the positive and negative sides of what we call "Teeter-Totter Theology". We also discuss that verse so often taken out of context, "Judge not, that ye be not judged" (7:1). There is a righteous form of judging! There is also an unrighteous form of judging - and we need to know the difference! There is also a right way and time to criticize and a wrong way and time to criticize! Again, we need to know the difference. We also need to know how to do honest self-judgment to make sure we are not pointing out someone's "eye-mote," while there is a major "beam" in our own! Another important lesson from the Greatest Teacher ever, Jesus!
