We like to rely on ourselves and our own righteousness, but in this parable Jesus makes it clear that we fall short of God's standard of perfection. Comparing the self-righteous religious man with the humble "sinner", Jesus shocks his audience by declaring it is the latter who God accepts. Will we have this same humility, and place our faith in God's grace alone?
