Episode Synopsis

There are no good options here. None.Read this parable from Jesus in Luke 18:9-14. Pick a character to identify with. Let’s set aside our pious right answers. Who do you want to be?Let’s just say that we want the right thing. That deep within us we have at least a vague notion of the good and the beautiful, of what will bring us the lives we long for. However, the way we go about trying to get it is so backward and tangled up that our progress is not only hindered, but we set off in the completely wrong direction.We all do this. Both men in this parable have done this. Jesus shows us how to untangle and actually get what we long for.I will pray for you. You pray for me. We need this message from Jesus. Will we declare dependence or pursue independence?Read, meditate, and pray through Luke 18:9-14. Who do you want to be? Is it time to switch paths?Pastor David
