 Seven, most powerful words in all of scripture. To give you context, Jesus was teaching and gathered around him where some folks that considered themselves to be righteous, but they treated other people that they didn't think were as righteous terribly. So he told them this parable. Two men went up to the temple to pray, a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee said, God, I think you that I'm not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like that of this tax collector. But then the tax collector prayed and he couldn't even lift his eyes towards heaven, but he uttered seven of the most powerful words in all of scripture. God, be merciful to me, a sinner. In the book of James it says that God opposes the proud but he gives his grace to the humble, that the prideful will be brought low but the humble will be exalted. Honestly, we all need to recognize our state before God. We are not righteous. We're not good and we need God's grace every day and that should impact how we treat others. We are all sinners before a holy God and it's only through Jesus that we can be called saints. Today, ask God to give you the humility to say these.
