We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours"
This song is on the new Casting Crowns cd. Ive had it on repeat for the past 3 days. It still gets to me every time. Im guilty of it, and so are you. We find it so easy to judge a sinner, but we cant judge ourselves. Ive become outraged by the number of people I see judging others. Particularly, Ive had to block many people on facebook, because they made me want to break the computer I was getting so mad. We as Christians were commanded to love others, especially sinners. No where does it say to go out and judge! (and on a side note, Christians should also vote and pray for their elected leaders, Thank you much!) It breaks my heart when a friend who isnt a believer tells me they dont want anything to do with Christianity because theyve been judged by a Christian! Judgement is never your call, leave that to God! See a need and meet it, dont judge the person who needs it!
