A look at the Pharisee and the Publican in Luke 18:9-14.
1. Comparisons and contrasts of the two men
-Pharisee - proud, externally clean.
-Publican - tax collector, despised, lowly
2. Comparisons and contrasts of the two prayers
-Pharisee - putting on a show, prayed long list, missing the True Source
-Publican - saw needs in life, repentant, went to the True Source for peace
3. Comparisons and contrasts of the two outcomes
-Pharisee - continued in ruts of selfishness and pride
-Publican - justified, free before God
4. Things we can learn from this.
-Publican didn't stay sinner. We want to be repentant and then become saints. Be saved and justified before Christ.
