A Right Heart

In this Bible story from Luke 18:9-14, we learn about the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee believed he was better than everyone else while the Tax Collector was someone who helped the Romans cheat the people. Both were wrong, but only one believed he was. The Pharisee looked up to God and thanked God that he wasn’t wicked like the Tax Collector. The Tax Collector only looked down and asked for God’s mercy and forgiveness. Jesus says that the Tax Collector, not the Pharisee, was justified before God.
