Pastor Ray delves deeply into this parable and what it means to be a publican versus being a Pharisee. It's our pride that blocks us from recognizing our condition and this has to change. Are you willing to lay down accusations and judgments and allow Jesus to purge you of all pride? That's called crucifixion and it's something we must embrace, if there is to be a resurrection.

Are you as willing as the publican was to be crucified with Christ?
