New Testament 237

New Testament 237

 

"The Pharisee and the Publican," by the Anglo-French artist James Tissot
James Tissot, “The Pharisee and the Publican”

 

Luke 18:9-14

Compare Matthew 23:12; 18:4; Luke 14:11

 

There is a fine but very important line between the peace that the Gospel can bring, on the one hand, and, on the other, smug, complacent self-satisfaction.

 

Few spiritual offenses are worse than self-righteous and judgmental pride.

 

We should be continually on guard against it.  It’s very easy to fall into.
