When we operate from a point of view of superiority, we can’t see the beam in our eye, but it is easy to see the splinter in the eyes of others. This usually occurs when we divide or separate ourselves from others based on age, race, education, politics, etc. The best incentive to stop judging is Jesus’ proclamation that we will be judged by God the same way that we judge others. And certainly none of us would want our own criteria of judgment applied to us.
