Contemplative Bible Reading

Romans 2:1 (New Living Translation)

You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things.

Who, me? Just as bad? This must be a misprint or something. The words must be out of context.

I can think of all sorts of excuses why this verse doesn’t mean what it says, but those are just excuses. Yes, I am just as bad as the other guy. And I am just as forgiven as the other guy. Praise God for His grace.
