Luke 18: 1-17

In this passage, Jesus teaches His disciples through powerful parables and a tender moment with children. He calls us to pray with persistence and never give up (vv. 1–8), warns against self-righteous pride through the contrast of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (vv. 9–14), and reminds us that the Kingdom of God belongs to those who come with humble, childlike faith (vv. 15–17).
