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
Its easy to think to ourselves:
Lord I thank you that I am not like that Pharisee!!! But we're all a bit like that.
Pray
God, have pity on me, a sinner.
- Luke 18:13
