Stay focused upon Jesus, because people will inevitably fail you. Yes Christians judge, yes Christians sin. Yes Christians do hurtful things. I think for anyone who is a Christian, they have been hurt or judged by another Christian at some point or another.
But, despite their failings (and many of our own as well) God's grace is there.
The New Testament epistles were written to churches with broken sinful people. You can look at the church of Corinth, of Rome, of Galatia, of Ephesus, and others as well, and you find a place that is not different than today.
Yes Jesus tells us to love one another ( a new commandment He gave to us). Yes, we should be known for how we love. But if we are not abiding in the Holy Spirit, the old nature pops up its ugly head. Show love, show grace, show forgiveness. Follow the way of Christ, even when others are not, and yes it hurts at time. But Christ was wounded and pierced because of my transgressions, yet He loved me enough to die for me to forgive me.
Sometimes the hurt is something that we will carry, but as we focus upon Jesus and live for Him our burden becomes lighter, because He takes it on for us.
Stay strong in Jesus sister!
