Episode Synopsis

In Luke 18:9–14, Jesus shares the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector to illustrate the profound impact of humility before God. The Pharisee stands in pride, comparing himself to others, while the tax collector humbly acknowledges his brokenness and pleads for mercy. This story reminds us that true righteousness is not about how we measure up to others but how we align our hearts with God's standards. As Martin Luther said, "God created the world out of nothing, and as long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us." Embrace humility, recognize your need for God's grace, and let Him transform your brokenness into strength.
