Think about it like this: if you're mean to your friends when they make a mistake, then later when you make a mistake, your friends might be mean back. But if you're nice and forgiving, they'll do the same for you!

Bối cảnh lịch sử

Matthew wrote his gospel around 80-90 AD, primarily for Jewish Christians who were familiar with Old Testament teachings. The cultural context was one where legalistic interpretations of law were common, and Jesus is addressing the tendency to judge others harshly while overlooking their own flaws.

In a modern scenario, if you tend to be overly critical at work, expecting perfection from your colleagues without acknowledging your own mistakes, over time, they might start treating you with similar harshness. This can create a toxic environment and affect teamwork.
