Default The Pharisee and the Tax Collectors Today

The Pharisees and Tax Collectors Today
The parable will simply be a story Jesus directed at people in the first century if we don’t ask ourselves whom the two men represent today. But, if we begin to label those people in our own culture, we have missed the point.

Every Christian is both a Pharisee and a tax collector. The point isn’t the position we have earned in this world; it is the position we take before God.

Are we proud of ourselves when we address God, or are we humbled by his greatness?

Do we think we are better than others, or do we realize that we have our own set of sins?

The best-behaved people in the world were the Pharisees, according to their rules. But, according to God, the tax collector was justified. The tax collector left the temple with his sins forgiven.

How did we walk out of worship this past week?
