Today, we will reflect on Luke 18:9-17, Qualities of the Kingdom – Humility. Jesus is travelling to Jerusalem, and it’s getting closer to when he will take all our sins on himself. Jesus’ teaching takes on a deeper intensity as he seeks to instill in his disciples a strong foundation of what the kingdom of heaven looks like, what the qualities of the kingdom are. Jesus looks at the quality of humility and the importance of having a humble heart. He offers a parable of a Pharisee and a tax-collector, both praying, but coming to God with very different attitudes. We will reflect on these attitudes.
