Message from 8-10-14 - What Jesus Said, Part 2. The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

This week Pastor Josh Kesler teaches from Luke 18:9-14:

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable.  “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men- robbers, evil doers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’  

But the tax collector stood at a distance.  He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’  

I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God.  For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
