Mark - Matthew 7

Jesus wants the focus to be on oneself. His preaching is directed at the judgement of others is wrong. I don't have the right to criticize others. He reiterates this throughout the chapter. I do a better job of being who Christ wants me to be when I heed these instuctions. Putting the focus on someone else is a copout to working on the only person I can think for--me. It's easy to judge others,(v13)"Heaven can be entered only through the narrow gate! The highway to hell is broad... When I point one finger at someone in judgement of the way their doing something there are three fingers pointing back at me. I need to look in the mirror and concern myself about my own plank.
