Friday
Read Luke 18:9-14
9 Jesus also told this
parable to people who were sure of their own goodness and despised everybody
else. 10“Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray:
one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector.
11 “The Pharisee stood apart
by himself and prayed,w ‘I thank you, God, that I am not greedy,
dishonest, or an adulterer, like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like
that tax collector over there. 12I fast two days a week, and I give
you a tenth of all my income.’
13 “But the tax collector
stood at a distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on
his breast and said, ‘God, have pity on me, a sinner!’ 14I tell
you,” said Jesus, “the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right
with God when he went home. For all who make themselves great will be humbled,
and all who humble themselves will be made great.”
Think
Jesus also told this parable to people who were sure of their own goodness
and despised everybody else. (Verse 9)
Are we those people?
