Luke 18:9-14

Passage:

Date: 6 August 2023

Speaker: Frank McKeown

Summary: In Luke 18, Jesus tells a powerful parable contrasting a self-righteous Pharisee with a humble tax collector. The Pharisee, confident in his own goodness, misses the mark, while the tax collector, recognising his sinfulness, pleads for mercy. This story challenges us to reflect on our own hearts: are we trusting in our efforts or humbly seeking God’s grace? True acceptance comes not from our deeds but from recognising our need for Him.
