Bob preaching about we will take a look at yet another of Jesus' parables: Luke 18:9-14. In this parable we learn that God is not impressed with those who are impressed with themselves, even in the slightest. But God does show mercy, without hesitation, to those who know they need it. We will also think together about another dimension of the parable: one cannot be right with God while taking pleasure in excluding others. The meaning of this parable is fairly straightforward, but applying it to ourselves will take a great deal of humility and sanctified imagination. May God grant us ears to hear and eyes to see.
