I Am Not My Brother's Judge
The secret of our relationships with one another in the Christian Church, especially when we have our differences, is "Jesus Christ is Lord." To despise or stand in judgement on a fellow Christian isn't just a breach of fellowship. It is a denial of the Lordship of Jesus. I need to say to myself, Who am I, that I should cast myself in the role of another Christian's lord and judge? I must be willing for Jesus Christ to be not only my Lord and Judge, but also my fellow Christians' Lord and Judge. ... I must not interfere with Christ's Lordship over other Christians.
