THE JUDGE
Before a burglary trial, the judge explained to the defendant, “You can let me try your case, or you can choose to have a jury of your peers.”
The man thought for a moment. “What are peers?” he asked.
“They’re people just like you – your equals.”
“Forget it,” retorted the defendant. “I don’t want to be tried by a bunch of thieves.”
Because people are just like us (guilty) we don’t like it when they judge us. But we are just as unlikely to judge them. The best bet is for each of us to try our best to encourage others and let God do the judging.
