Jesus makes a simple point: the tax collector, who could not even lift his eyes up to the heavens to pray, went home justified. The Pharisee did not. Yet, such a simple truth brings with it many things for us to consider. Most importantly, when we see the Pharisee, we often don't realize, is that there is more than meets the eye. We ought to take note of Jesus parable, that we would be a people marked out by humbleness like that of the tax collector.
