等孩子(10分钟) 舞台上还是观众席上？（活动）
问每个孩子，如果给他们选择的机会，他们宁愿站在舞台上还是坐在观众席上。让每个孩子解释他们的答案。所有孩子回答问题后，谈论两种选择的优缺点。（站在舞台上的人会在聚光灯下，可能会有名气，但他们会被别人评判。他们会因为外貌、着装、言谈和才能受到批评。坐在观众席的人能娱乐，可以放松，但他们有可能去评判那些在舞台上表演的人。观众也可能因为羡慕舞台上的人而产生挑剔的态度。）

背经节(10分钟)
不要审判，免得你们受审判。-马太福音7:1
使用上面的经文，玩一个雪人游戏，类似“绞刑判决”游戏，不过用雪人的不同部分替代了绞刑判决的图形。
/译者注：Hangman（绞刑判决）是一种经典的单词猜谜游戏，通常用来锻炼玩家的词汇和逻辑推理能力。游戏的主要目标是猜出一个隐藏的单词，每个字母用下划线表示，而玩家需要猜测每个字母是什么。每次猜测时，如果玩家猜对一个字母，那么所有相应的字母将都被揭示出来；如果猜错，那么游戏的“绞刑架”将会逐渐搭建起来，每次猜错会添加一个部件（例如头、身体、手、脚等）。当绞刑架完整后，游戏结束，玩家输掉游戏。
这个游戏常常用来在学校或家庭环境中增加学习趣味，同时提高语言能力和词汇量。在教育场景中，老师可以用Hangman游戏来教授新单词，让学生通过猜测字母的方式逐步学会正确的单词拼写。游戏的难度可以根据学生的年龄和水平进行调整，因此可以在各个年龄段的教育中得到广泛应用。/
故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
在今天的课程中，我们将看到耶稣对审判他人的看法。在我们开始之前，你们认为耶稣更愿意站在舞台上还是坐在观众席上？（没有错的答案，只是个人看法。）
读 马太福音7:1-5（审判他人）
问题讨论：
1.当我们审判他人时会发生什么？（我们自己也会被审判。）
2.经文中所说的弟兄眼中的刺或我们自己眼中的梁木是什么意思？（这节经文在谈论我们生活中的罪，不是灰尘或木板。）
3.耶稣对指出别人的罪有什么说法？（祂告诉我们在找别人的错之前先去除我们自己的罪。）
4.这是否意味着我们应该忽视/忽略别人的罪？（不是，我们需要意识到罪的坏影响，但我们不应对别人采取严厉或挑剔的态度。）
5.去除我们生活中的罪将如何帮助我们帮助别人的罪？（知道我们自己也是罪人将帮助我们对别人更加仁慈。）
6.当耶稣说“你们用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你们”时，你认为祂是什么意思？（让大家讨论。）
7.在读了关于审判他人的这些经文后，你是否改变了自己对于耶稣更愿意站在舞台上还是坐在观众席上的答案？为什么？（让大家讨论。没有对错，只是个人看法。）
课堂活动(25分钟)
备选-课堂活动(10分钟)
应用(4分钟)
人们天生有审判他人的本能，去发现他人的弱点和过错。然而，神希望我们去爱而不是去审判。当你处于一个准备要评判别人的情况中时，提醒自己神是你的判官，祂也是他们的判官。只应有一个判官。雅各书4:12说：“设立律法者和审判者只有一位，就是那能救人，也能灭人的。你这审判邻舍的，你是谁？” 同时，请记住加拉太书5:14的教导，要爱邻舍如同自己。

TEACHINGS FROM JESUS
LESSON 4: JUDGING OTHERS
This lesson teaches children that we all need forgiveness and that we should not have a fault-finding attitude toward others. by Kristy Thornton
TOPICS Attitude, Behavior, Child of God, Judging, Mercy, Reputation, Self-Worth
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes)
On the Stage or In the Audience? (Activity) Ask each child, if given the choice, if he or she would rather be up on stage or in the audience. Have each child explain his or her answer. After all children have answered the question, talk about the advantages and disadvantages to both choices. (Those on stage are in the spotlight, may have fame, but they will be judged by others. They will be criticized because of their looks, dress, speech, and talent. Those in the audience are being entertained and get to relax, yet they risk judging those performing on stage. Those in the audience may become jealous of those on stage and develop a fault-finding attitude.)

MEMORY WORK (10 minutes)
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1 NIV Using the verse above, play a game of Snowman, which is played like hangman, but different parts of a snowman are drawn in place of a hanging man.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: In today's lesson, we are going to see what Jesus said about judging others. Before we begin, do you think Jesus would prefer to be on stage or in the audience? (There are no wrong answers just opinions.) Read Matthew 7:1-5 (Judging Others) Discussion Questions: 1. What happens when we judge others? (We, ourselves, are judged.) 2. What does it mean when the verse talks about a speck of sawdust in our brother’s eye or a plank in our own eye? (The verse is talking about sin in our lives, not sawdust, or boards.) 3. What does Jesus say about pointing out someone else's sin? (He tells us to remove the sins from our lives before finding fault with others.) 4. Does this mean that we should overlook or ignore another person’s sin? (No, we need to be aware of the sinful influences around us, but we should not have a harsh or fault-finding attitude towards others.) 5. How will removing the sin from our lives allow us to help others with their sins? (Knowing that we are sinners as well will help us be more merciful towards others.) 6. What do you think Jesus meant when He said, “with the measure you use, it will be measured to you"? (Allow for discussion.) 7. After reading those verses on judging others, would you change your answer on whether or not Jesus would prefer to be on stage or in the audience? Why? (Allow for discussion. There are no wrong answers just opinions.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes) People have a fleshly instinct to judge others, to find weaknesses and faults. Yet, God wants us to love and not judge. When you are in a situation where you are about to judge someone, remind yourself that God is your Judge and He is their Judge as well. There should only be one Judge. James 4:12 states, "There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?" Also remember that Galatians 5:14 commands us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
