II. JESUS CALLS OUT OUR SINFUL

SPIRIT (v.3-4)
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?

III. WE MUST

OURSELVES BEFORE EXAMINING OTHERS (v.5)
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
