A roadside sign read: Don’t judge someone just because their
sin is different from yours—the message applies to outward appearances as well:
“Judge not that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1).
It’s so easy to make quick judgments about people or situations by appearances. Unless we know them and all they are going through or understand all facts about the issues, we make rash decisions based on ourselves. Jesus said how we judge others will come back on us (v. 2). A book’s appealing cover doesn’t tell its story. The saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” is appropriate for people too.
