Episode Details

This sermon on Luke 6 examines Jesus' words "Judge not" in their full context, showing that he condemns blind human judgment rooted in the "tree" of the knowledge of good and evil, not all judgment. It contrasts the Pharisees' false righteousness with Christ's true sight and justice.

By tracing original sin and the Pharisees' condemnation of Jesus, the sermon explains how the cross removes the "tree" from our eyes: Jesus receives our judgment, forgives our sins, and opens our sight so we can forgive, love, and judge as he does.
