God does not judge us; truth does

Morning: Psalms 75, 76; Esther 2:5-8, 15-23; Acts 17:16-34
Evening: Psalms 23, 27; John 12:44-50

Many think God is watching (or Jesus) … but not lovingly.  It’s like God is the cosmic supervisor, judging when we do wrong.  This is a curse, Bad News, because we’re always messing up, right? Quite frankly, to imagine that God judges as we do is pure projection from our own human behaviour!  We judge a lot.  But Jesus has Good News: “I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world … The word that I have spoken will serve as judge.”
