He didn't make excuses or try to hide his sin; he acknowledged that he was a sinner in need of God's grace. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018:9-14&version=31 2009-08-07T11:24:44-05:00 Who's holier--a respected religious leader who thinks he's better than everyone else, or a miserable sinner who is genuinely sorry for his sins? Jesus' answer to that question is made clear in this parable. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018:9-14&version=NIV 2009-08-05T09:52:05-05:00 In this short parable, Jesus contrasts the attitude of a Pharisee (a religious leader) with that of a poor sinner. The arrogant Pharisee is outwardly more holy, but lacks the "sinner's" spirit of genuine humility and repentance. Guess who God is more pleased with? http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2019:1-10&version=NIV 2009-07-31T13:25:46-05:00 The story of Zacchaeus, the famously short tax collector who after meeting with Jesus was moved to give half of his possessions to the poor and to repay fourfold everyone that he had cheated. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/russian/Jesus%20and%20Zaccheus%20Russian.pdf 2009-04-20T14:58:51-05:00 Russian: Jesus passed through Jericho.
