"3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
Matthew 7:3-5
"14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
Matthew 6:14-15
These are possibly the most forgotten words from Jesus among believers today. Comparing ourselves to others, and pointing out their shortcomings usually stems from our inability to understand the grace we have received from God. If we cannot extend grace, it could be evidence that we might have never received grace. Each must examine their own heart.
