Justified Before God
Justified Before God
Psalm 65 & Luke 18.9-14
Our Lectionary readings today places the familiar Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector before us.
With penetrating clarity, this parable brings home the truth that justification can be found only in the humble acknowledgement that we are sinners, and in the casting of ourselves upon the mercy of God. The Pharisee is confident of his own righteousness based on his own performance. The tax collector has no confidence in himself. He sees himself as a sinner without hope, aside from the mercy of God. The way of the tax collector is the only means of justification before God. And throughout the entirety of our lives, it is the only means of assurance that we are righteous before God. Righteousness, from beginning to end, is found in Christ alone!
