Luke 18:9-14
The parable, like the preceding Parable of the Persistent Widow, has to do with prayer. In this parable we learn that our prayers unwittingly reveal what we think of ourselves. Here Jesus gives two prayers – one by a Pharisee and one by a publican. One leads to Heaven, and one leads to Hell. This parable seems so simple that we often misread it, drawing ungrounded comfort to our souls instead of the gracious discomfort that God intended.
