Matt.5:26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.{literally, kodrantes. A kodrantes was a small copper coin worth about 2 lepta (widow's mites)--not enough to buy very much of anything.}

When a person stands in a mud-hole and declares that he is clean while looking at the spot of mud on someone else he is in denial beyond belief. Christ is not necessarily speaking of monetary value here, a dispute or goods and services, but rather the same wisdom he always spoke about the self-righteous wanting payment by judgment and ending up in a bigger mud-hole.
A Christian's cannot have it both ways it just does not add up to truth and righteousness. In other words, how can we be taken from a mud-hole of sin and corruption into the wonderful light by forgiveness of our sins, and see the mud-spot on someone else and demand payment be given us for the same offense?

You see it cannot be that way, because one is going beyond the undeserved kindness of God, we are demanding what God does not demand of us. We can legalize it and speaking elevated of righteousness, but we are condemning ourselves removing the Law of Freedom over us returning to the laws of the flesh. One cannot be partial and ask God to be impartial with us. We are choosing our own judgment for ourselves, yes! We are being judge by how we judge others that is the rule of law Christ Jesus set up after fulfilling the law for us.

In other words, are we making ourselves into a god like Adam and Eve choosing what rule of law we want over us. Do we justify such harsh judgments by other because people in authority give us a legal right to do so? Than we are receiving the same measure back we give out by self-judgment of sinful flesh. What do we demand, what does our religion demand, and what is the truth of unmerited kindness in God's love, which do you choose for yourself, and what to you give out too others?

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? 7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
