Grading on a scale

Jesus said, “To him who is given much, much will be required.” The ignorant will be disciplined lightly, while those with full knowledge of the Master’s desires will incur a stricter judgment (Luk 12:47-48, Jam 3:1). To the Pharisee’s he said, “If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty.” (Joh 9:41) We are each responsible to steward our own knowledge, blessings and gifts. We should be concerned with our own obedience and trust that God is the judge of others. We cannot bear the mantel of the Judge. Jesus said to Peter, “If I want John to remain until I come back, what is that to you? YOU FOLLOW ME.” (Joh 21:22)
