In Whom Do I Trust?

As we approach Good Friday, I want us to work out our salvation, as Paul says, with fear and trembling, by asking the question found in the title of the message. "In Whom Do I Trust?" In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus encounters some people who "trusted in themselves that they were righteous". Encountering this, Jesus tells a parable about two men, a Pharisee and a Tax Collector, who go into the temple to pray. The first is more righteous than all others, but it is the second, a sinner, who receives justification. The difference is a matter of whom they place their trust.
