The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

from Prairie Bible Church · host Prairie Bible Church

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy (Proverbs 28:13). The Pharisee justifies himself and remains in his sin. The tax collector humbles himself and receives God’s mercy. Which are you?Take Home Message: Before we can be saved, we must first admit that we cannot save ourselves.
