Judge with Righteousness – Week 4, Day 3 – Holy Fifty Days 2025
Gospel Reading: John 7:14–29
Focus Verse: “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” (John 7:24, NKJV)
Meditation
Christ teaches us not to judge by looks, but to see things through God’s truth. What matters is doing God’s will, not how things appear.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“You who condemn Me for healing on the Sabbath, why do you excuse Moses for circumcising on it? If both acts point to spiritual healing, then judge with justice—not by appearances, but by truth.”
— St. Cyril of Alexandria
Practical Practice
When someone frustrates you today, take a moment to ask:
“What might I not be seeing?”
Pray for wisdom to respond with fairness, not assumption.
May the Lord grant us the clarity to see as He sees!
