"24 Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment." -John 7:24, NIV
Jesus accused his opponents of making shallow, biased judgments of his ministry. That's the problem with judging strictly by appearance: your conclusions about someone else may be superficial and inaccurate(This thought was brought to you courtesy of Revolution: The Bible for Teen Guys).
Are you being judgmental with someone around you? Maybe it's someone at school that seems a bit snobby, or someone at work that's kind of weird. Jesus taught us to love everyone, and that's precisely what we should do. As hard as it is, let's try to keep it in perspective and get to know people (I mean, really know. Not learn about them through gossip) before we make any kind of judgment. We are all made in the image of God; who are we to judge His image?
