“And He spoke this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others.” (Luke 18:9)
This is one of thirty-nine parables of our Lord. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly or spiritual meaning. Jesus was the master story-teller and teacher. He still gets the attention of man-kind with His stories two-thousand years after He told them.
There are people today as there were then, self righteous, with feelings of superiority toward others. Our Lord did not need to call anyone’s name. He just told the story and if the shoe fit, they could wear it. If it “made a blister” they could change shoes.
For the next few days let’s dissect this parable and see if the shoe fits and if it does, see if we will allow God to remedy our problem. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you through this story.
