The camel is a symbol of a judge. [1] We hope our judges are good people. But God is using the judge to teach about himself through the nature of his teachers. Jesus said that we should not judge, or we too will be judged. [2] Many people see God as a great and terrible judge. But he judged all of our sins on the cross of Jesus and forgave us to show that he is also love. When you are forgiven, there is no more judgement. [3] God's teachers teach his love, the Gospel, by showing his forgiveness through the cross. He doesn't want us to become judges. He wants us to forgive as he has forgiven. [4] Jesus told a story about a man who owed a lot of money to a king. [5] He could never pay it back. When the king forgave him his debt, he put his neighbor in prison for owing him just a little money. The man was shown great love through forgiveness, but then became a judge who had none. The king threw the man in prison for not also forgiving. We should not learn to be a judge, because if we judge, we will be judged. |
