9 He also told this parable to some who
The Gospel of Luke 18:9-14
trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with con-tempt.

10 “Two men when up into the temple
The Gospel of Luke 18:9-14
to pray, one a Pharisee and the other atax collector.

“…the worst kind of crook: a legal one, a big operator, a mafia-style enforcer working for the Roman government on a nifty franchise that lets him collect—from his
fellow Jews, mind you, from the people whom the Romans might have trouble finding, but whose
whereabouts he knows and whose language he speaks—all the money he can bleed out of
them, provided he pays the authorities an agreed flat fee.

“…He has been living for years on the cream he has skimmed off their milk money. He is a fat cat who drives a stretch limo,
drinks nothing but Chivas Regal, and who never shows up
at a party without at least two $500 a night call girls in tow. ”

11 “The Pharisee, standing by himself,
The Gospel of Luke 18:9-14
prayed thus, ‘God, I thank you that I amnot like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all I get.

Mac Davis: “O Lord, It’s Hard
To Be Humble”

For the Pharisee, prayer was just another way of
reminding himself of what a great guy he was. He did not actually ask
God for anything or offer God any praise, but
simply reveled in his own sense of superiority.

13 But the tax collector, standing far off,
The Gospel of Luke 18:9-14
would not even lift his eyes to heaven,but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

“Justification is an act of God’s free grace in which he pardons all our sins and accepts us as righteous in his sight
because of the righteousness of Christ given to us and received by faith alone.”

Life was once to me like summer,With its glitter and its smile;
I, as thoughtless as an insect,Trifled through the little while.All was buoyant life within me,
All was jubilant around;Need of Jesus then I felt not,
So I sought Him not, nor found.
![Page 24: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
But the summer soon was ended,And the gloomy winter came;
All my blooming joys were withered Into greens of every name.
Still, I hoped the change of seasonWould bring summer round again;
But, instead, the gloom grew blacker—And I sought the Saviour then.
![Page 25: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Well I knew ’twas but through JesusThat the sinner comes to God:
But with what we come to Jesus?Ah! ’twas here I missed the road:
I was brining Him obedience,When I should have brought but sin;So my knocking, though half-frantic,
No admittance thus could win.
![Page 26: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Though I studied to know betterWhat already well I knew;
And the good things that I practiced,Better still I strove to do:
Yet the deeper grew the darkness,And the silence grew more dread,
So I owned my case was hopeless,And my soul among the dead.
![Page 27: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Then at once the peace of pardonDid my sinking soul restore,
And the love sprung up spontaneous,Which I could not force before.When I took the place of sinner,
And at Mercy’s footstool lay,Jesus took his place as Saviour,
And at once put sin away.
![Page 28: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ah! ’tis ruinous to cover Filthy sores with rags more foul:
Strip them bare at once before Him,That his grace may make you whole.
He delights in showing mercyTo a soul that owns its sin;
But the soul that thinks of earning,Not a smile shall ever win.
![Page 29: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why does Luke record this account in his historical
biography of Jesus?
Important Question

Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but
the one who humbles himself will be exalted.

“If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the
flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the
church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. ~ The Apostle Paul in
Philippians 3:4-9
![Page 33: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of
Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of
the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
~ The Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:4-9
![Page 34: Sermon Slide Deck: "The Way of the Humble" (Luke 18:9-14)](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882fce01a28abe70d8b4b2f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in
order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not
having a righteousness of my own that comes from the
law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the
righteousness from God that depends on faith…. ~ The Apostle Paul in
Philippians 3:4-9
