Why did Jesus come into the world?
Jesus himself answers this question:
« As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it. »(John 12:47)
To save and not to judge!
Instead of judging and condemning men because of their sins, he forgave them in order to save them from the death that awaits sinners.
We should also do like him, save and not judge.
Criticizing, booing, marginalizing or judging those whom we call criminals, “sinners”, or even our enemies, is to condemn them and it is to push them into evil in order to abandon them there.
And yet, instead, they need our mercy, forgiveness, understanding, compassion, solidarity, love, and guidance to be saved from their evil.
Indeed, the love of God makes us responsible for one another.
So, let’s be truly responsible for others and do everything to save them from evil instead of judging them.
PRAYER:
Eternal our God, grant us to seek to save others instead of judging them.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray.
Amen.
