One of the common traits that we all share as humans is our ability to forget. We need to surround ourselves with reminders. These reminders could be anything from a carefully marked calendar to a pre-set cell phone beeper: Bzzzz... Thanks. I needed that.

Jesus told a parable to remind those who have forgotten a very powerful and revealing truth. The truth is that we humans have no righteousness of our own. Ouch! Luke introduced the parable this way: To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable (Luke 18:9). Bzzzz... Thanks. I needed that. And we always will.
