SCRIPTURE: John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
OBSERVATION: There are a couple of applications from today's scripture. One of those applications is this -- appearance can be a hindrance to righteous judgment.
Things are not always as they appear. Judging according to appearance does not produce righteous judgment. Also, righteous judgment is not harsh judgment. That becomes clear in the next chapter when the appearance-judgers bring an adulteress to the righteous-judger, and He shows her compassion.
APPLICATION: Don't be fooled by appearances! Judge with righteousness or, better yet, leave the judgment to Jesus, the righteous-judger.
PRAYER: Jesus, thank You that You don't judge me according to appearance. You see something that no one else sees. Amen.
