The Pharisee and the Publican

41 minutes

High school social circles generally include groups of people who

are ‘popular’. You know the type; everyone wants to be around them and

they are always in demand. Of course, that also means there are other

people who are less desirable. These kids are on the outside looking

in. The difference is probably something to do with appearance or

athletic skill. It could also be based in social skills. But somehow

communities of people tend to be sorted out into groups like these.

Jesus uses this kind of social structure in His day to make a point.

There are some who seem to have it all together and others who look like

they are falling apart. Some don’t look like they ever do anything

wrong, and others appear to always do what’s wrong. But Jesus’ story

cautions us in how we view people, and in our understanding of how God

views them. He wants us to learn about the power of humility.
