In Luke 6:37–45, Jesus teaches 2 facets of judging that show mercy to others and receive mercy from God. I. Jesus commands judging that shows mercy to others and leads to mercy from God. A. Negative: do not judge or condemn, and you will not be judged or condemned by God (v. 37a, b). B. Positive: pardon & give, and you will be pardoned and given to exceedingly by God according to the same measure (vs. 37c-38). II. Jesus illustrates proper judging by presenting activities showing the importance of seeing correctly. A. Judge rightly whom you will follow, for a disciple becomes like his teacher (vs. 39–40). B. Judge rightly your own sin so you can rightly help others with theirs (vs. 41–42). C. Judge rightly the fruit of your life in order to know the state of your heart. 1. The quality of the tree is reflected in the quality of its fruit (vs. 43–44). 2. The state of one's heart is reflected in the quality of one's words (v. 45).
