Mote in the eye 目の中のちり (マタイによる福音書 7:3)

絵の説明: 祝福の山
著作権: Jenny Wong

聖書節

“また、なぜあなたは、兄弟の目の中のちりに目をつけるが、自分の目の中の梁には気がつかないのですか。”

意味

ちりとは、微量のほこりの事を言います。

起源と適用

祝福の山でイエス様は後々有名となるメッセージを彼を信じる人々に与えました。それは私たちは普段自分たちの欠点に目を向けるのではなく、他人の欠点を見つけようとしてしまう事にありました。他人の目の中のちりに集中してしまっている時に、私たちは自分を除外して見てしまい、自分に向き合う事を忘れてしまいます。
