Often many conflicts that occur in relationships or life together start from someone's actions, assumptions or judgments of others. That one-sided judgment places others as objects that we can easily judge and interpret all their actions. However, on the one hand, we also realize that sometimes our judgments of others that are conveyed objectively and lovingly can help them grow by realizing the mistakes they have made. So how should we interpret Jesus' prohibition in this passage not to judge?

First of all, we must realize that the prohibition conveyed by Jesus must be placed in its context, namely the symptoms of religious people at that time. As we know, at that time the Jewish religious leaders implemented the Torah and its derivative laws very strictly. Unfortunately, they actually created loopholes to violate the law, while ordinary people were emphasized on the application of very severe laws. They could only teach and judge others, while those laws were not carried out by the Jewish religious leaders. In addition, with pride in the laws they had, symptoms arose to belittle other nations. So Jesus reminded the people not to judge others easily, especially when they position themselves as if they are the most correct and never fall into error. It is like seeing a speck/wood dust in someone else's eye easily, while the beam in your own eye is difficult to see. Realize that we are not perfect and only God has that perfection. Thus, if we want to give advice to others based on our judgment, then it should be done with humility and with an awareness of our imperfection.

In addition, for those who like to judge others, the Lord Jesus reminded that the person must be prepared if on another occasion he will also be judged with the same standard as he applied to others. This invites us to think repeatedly and be truly wise when we are about to judge others. Wisdom in action must precede our urge to judge others.
