Did Jesus judge others? Note: Jesus demonstrated emphathic listening to a broken hurting person, while still calling that person to certain behavior.

judge not lest ye be judgedJesus declares that the person judging will be judged because judging assumes a divine prerogative; final judgment belongs to God alone, and those who seek to judge others now will answer then for usurping God`s position

Can you think of examples where Jesus modeled this radical teaching?

all of jesus life is an example of this teaching, all of the comandments of moses jesus sumarized it into this teaching, which if applied in our lives this world will be the perfect heaven.the best example however is the whole journey of the passion.it begins with the scene in the garden when he was praying and the soldiers came to capture him, his disciples wanting to defend him he orders them to put down their weapons and this example goes on and on through out the passion untill the last minute of his torture when he asks God his father to forgive these people who do not know what they are doing by the crucifying him.

How can one find spiritual blessing by going through mourning, suffering, hunger or poverty?

How can one find spiritual blessing by going through mourning, suffering, hunger or poverty? mourning, suffering hunger poverty are supposed to teach you humility, and as the scripture teaches us humility is the essential virtue, without which it is impossible to bear any good fruit at all. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven ''Matthew 5:3''. most worldly people forget about the virtue of humility.once we acknowledge almightyness of God and the imperfection of man we can understand what humility means.people tend to forget all about God and are engrossed in pride and self centerdness once they have everything set and figured out &all is going good in their lives and that although seems to look on the outer level as a sign of happiness and succes it only leads to a spiritual voidness.Spiritual voidness leads man away from his creator, his only true source of happiness and contentment and away from faith, which in itself leads a man into misery. The self-sufficient proud man is in fact the most wretched one, because he is so blind he cannot even perceive his misery ''Revelation 3:17''. the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, is the greatest example of humility. Who could ever be higher than Him ¨ the Creator of everything visible and invisible alike? And yet He was always the example of obedience towards His earthly parents, He was obedient towards the lay authorities, He paid taxes, and He meekly forgave His enemies. Striving towards humility, we are doing so in the steps of our Saviour, Who left us His commandment: Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls ''Matthew 11:29''. humility is the path that leads us to God.God is the ultimate source of happiness although we might not know that.For how many are the rich and succesful who have it all yet are so miserable in their lives that they have lost all sense of why they are born and whats the pourpose of life , that they are willing to let satan freely take control of their lives and lead them away from God
