It isn’t often that you hear Jesus speaking harshly.  It isn’t often that you hear the Bible talking about a sin as inexcusable.  But that is exactly how the Bible refers to a certain sin – one that we all do a lot more than we realize.

"Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things… And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?"  (Romans 2:1-3)

Ouch!  Tough words there.  Where did that come from?  Where’s all the love and forgiveness and mercy and grace and stuff like that?  Why use a word like “inexcusable” to describe a sin which, if we’re honest, we all do on a daily basis?
