This admonition of Jesus to a temple gathering seems to stand alone, but he is actually telling the community to stop judging him for healing the sick on the Sabbath.
I judge by appearances all the time. I make snap decisions about people: Inventing what I think they are like, imagining why they say and do the things they do. And I do this without any real understanding of their needs or motivations.
Today, I will be careful not to judge others, trying instead to show God's love to them.
