"He also told them a parable: Can a blind man lead a blind man, will not both fall into the pit?" The disciple is not superior to his teacher, but everyone who is perfected will be like his teacher. the straw that is in your brother's eye and you can not see the beam that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother: Brother, let me take out the straw that is in your eye, not looking at the beam That is in yours? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye and then you will see well to take out the straw that is in your brother's eye.It is not a good tree that gives bad fruit, nor a bad tree that gives good fruit, for every tree is known for its fruit, since no figs are harvested from the thorns or brambles grapes are harvested.The good man, out of the good treasure of his heart brings out the good, and the bad man, from the evil treasure from his heart he brings out the bad, because the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart."

Greetings friends of steemit God bless you.

It is obvious that if someone is blind he will take another person to a hole (v, 39). No one can hide the fact that it is unfair, because it diverts others. Jesus also noted that a person can be like the one he imitates (v. 40). Therefore, his disciples had to imitate him. And one had to get rid of a certain sin, before he could help a brother (v. 41-42). And, often, personal sins are greater than those that are criticized in other people. The Lord compares them to a beam with a straw. What is important here is that you can not help another person to become fair if you are not fair first. Whoever tries to do that is called a hypocrite.

Jesus also taught that what a man says, eventually manifests what kind of man he is (v. 43-45). Just as people know what kind a tree is for the fruit it gives, so it is said, you know if a person is fair or not. Therefore, in this case, the fruit symbolizes what is said, not what is done, because of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

To be well before God, we must not fill the ego, caress the pride, smile condescendingly to sin and try to cover with a cream the cancer of sin. The only place you can go is at the foot of the cross. There, God performs a great surgical operation, and makes you a new creature in Jesus Christ. This is the message we have in the Sermon on the Plain, which complements the so-called Sermon on the Mount. It is the message that the Lord pronounced to many different groups of people.
