The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector - KR 60
How does God view us?
This may be the most important question that one can answer. Jesus tells a parable that not only challenges those who are listening, but it reveals the very character to God. The parable shows that God doesn’t judge how we often think he does, rather he always has the ability to get to the heart of the issue.
God loves us as we are and not how we should be. This view of God’s mercy shows the true character of God. It sets the foundation to be able to understand and be transformed by God on a deeper level.
