Judging Others<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It seems that it’s so easy to judge others even only at one sight of ours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without knowing somebody’s background, we could draw a conclusion: whether we could like him\/her and be friends with him\/her.<\/span><\/p>\n

For sure, this is not an easy thing to put into practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, let’s try to stay humble…<\/span><\/p>\n

Less judging others too much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because when it comes to us who’s being judged, are we going to like it?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDo not judge, or you too will be judged.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Matthew 1:7<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Menghakimi Orang Lain<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Begitu enak dan mudahnya kita menghakimi orang lain bahkan dari sekali pandang saja.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tanpa mengetahui latar belakang seseorang, kita langsung menyimpulkan bisa suka dan berteman dengannya atau tidak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Memang hal ini bukan perkara gampang untuk dipraktikkan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, marilah kita terus belajar untuk lebih rendah hati.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mengurangi penghakiman yang berlebihan terhadap orang lain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karena pada gilirannya, jika kita yang dihakimi apa kita akan suka?<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Janganlah menghakimi orang lain, supaya kalian sendiri juga jangan dihakimi oleh Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Matius 7:1<\/span><\/p>\n

To See Clearly<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

To see clearly, the verse from the Bible advises us to take the plank out of our own eye and then we could remove the speck from our brother’s eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Too often we accuse others easily without realizing that it’s ourselves that need to do some soul-search-some introspection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s search our heart, that we could possibly do wrong in judging something or someone.<\/span><\/p>\n

May our pure heart’s condition, led by the Holy Spirit, enable us to see things clearly in this life.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

How can you say to your brother, \u2018Let me take the speck out of your eye,\u2019 when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?\u00a05\u00a0You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother\u2019s eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Matthew 7:4<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Melihat dengan Jelas<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Untuk melihat dengan jelas, ayat di Alkitab menganjurkan kita untuk mengeluarkan balok dari mata kita barulah kita mengeluarkan selumbar dari mata saudara kita.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terlalu sering kita menuduh orang lain dengan mudah, tanpa sadar bahwa diri kita sendiri yang perlu introspeksi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mari selidiki hati kita, bahwa kita pun bisa salah dalam menilai sesuatu atau seseorang.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga dengan kondisi hati yang murni dalam tuntunan Roh Kudus, kita dimampukan untuk melihat dengan jelas dalam hidup ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-)<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bagaimanakah engkau dapat berkata kepada saudaramu: Biarlah aku mengeluarkan selumbar itu dari matamu, padahal ada balok di dalam matamu.\u00a07:5<\/a>\u00a0Hai orang munafik, keluarkanlah dahulu balok dari matamu, maka engkau akan melihat dengan jelas untuk mengeluarkan selumbar itu dari mata saudaramu.”<\/p>\n

— Matius 7:4-5<\/p>\n

How to Treat Others<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The key in treating others is in this verse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treat them as you want them to treat us.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, sometimes we could experience that we’ve done all that we could, but we we’re being trampled.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this condition, then we ask, what we should do?<\/span><\/p>\n

Be sincere, be kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, be smart as well, so that people don’t take advantage of us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try our best to forgive others as well as ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

May God guide us through this process.<\/span><\/p>\n

(-fon-) \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Treat others as you want them to treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets\u00a0are all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

— Matthew 7:12<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bagaimana Memperlakukan Orang Lain<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Kunci dari bagaimana memperlakukan orang lain ada pada ayat ini.<\/span><\/p>\n

Segala sesuatu yang kita kehendaki supaya orang perbuat kepada kita, perbuatlah demikian juga kepada mereka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, terkadang kita pun pernah mengalami, sudah berbuat baik, malah diinjak-injak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dalam keadaan seperti ini, kita pun bertanya-tanya, bagaimana seharusnya kita berbuat?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tetaplah tulus, tetaplah baik.<\/span><\/p>\n

Namun, juga hendaknya kita cerdik, sehingga tidak melulu diperlakukan demikian.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sisanya, jangan kita membalas dendam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Berusaha sedapat mungkin mengampuni orang lain dan diri sendiri.<\/span><\/p>\n

Semoga Tuhan membimbing kita melewati proses ini.<\/span><\/p>\n
