Continuing yesterday's theme, Luke adds a more positive example of consequences of how we consider others.
Luke 6:37-38
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
When we decide to view others through a heart of love and affection for them, then we are much less likely to harshly judge their actions. When we extend to others the graciousness that Christ has given to us, then we will treat them with kindness and compassion. And when we are known as kind and compassionate people, then others will respond to us with the same generosity they see in us.
Always remember to pass along whatever blessings God gives us through others. Good deeds can be multiplied in this way.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
