Two Men (Luke 18:10-14)

“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican” (Luke 18:10).

The Pharisee prayed:

From a position of self-promotion: “stood and prayed thus with himself” (Verse 11).

With a self-centered motive: “God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are (Verse 11).

In a self-righteous manner: or even as this publican” (Verse 11).

Being totally self-absorbed: “I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess” (Verse 12).

The publican prayed:

From a position of self-denial: “Standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven” (Verse 13).

In the spirit of self-contrition: but smote upon his breast” (Verse 13).

With true repentance: “Saying, God be merciful to me a sinner” (Verse 13).

The Lord said of the publican: “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other” (Verse 14). Which one are you?
