In this sermon Neither Do I Condemn You, we learn to love people like Jesus loved them. It might be someone caught in the very act. They might be as guilty as they can possibly be. But in the end, I want to be able to say to them, “This church loves you!”
Human nature usually condemns a person who’s righteousness does not equal their own. We do it all the time, and many times without even thinking about it. Some people feel condemned simply because they think that others righteousness is so great. Sometimes, you don’t even have to say a word, your righteousness condemns them all by itself.
There are people all around us who look at us and believe in their hearts that we are somehow better than them and that they will never be able to be as good as us. These people condemn themselves by assuming that we have no faults or failures in our own life.
Is there anyone in the house who is without sin today? Is there anyone here today who has never made a mistake in their life? If there is one thing that is absolute our understanding today, it is that we are without a doubt a sinner. We are completely dependent on the mercy and grace of God for every breath that I take.
