And he spoke also to some,who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and made nothing of all the rest of men, this parable:tow men went up into the temple to pray; the one a pharisee, and the other a tax_gatherer

(luke 18:9-10

This is a parable for every self-rigteous person to take to heart. The pharisee prayed to himself,"God, i thank thee that i am not as the rest of men, rapacious,unjust,adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer. I fast twice in the week, i tithe everything I gain''.not knowing the true God, he prayed to himself. He knew that many men were guilt of serious crimes, and he included the tax-gatherer with them merely because he was a tax-gatherer: was this not enough to condemn him? On the psitive side, he considered it a great credit to himself that he went without tow meals each week, and also that he gave tithes of all his gains. Whether this was true or not, it was a trifling matter to boast about. He forgot entirely to confess to God the shame of his own haughty pride. The tax-gatherer, on other hand, stood far away and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but in broken humiliation pled with God, Have compassion on me,the sinner".He did not bring to God a list of the evils he had refrained from doing, nor a list of some outwardly good things he had actually done; but making no excuses for himself, confessed himself to be'' the sinner; as though he were the only one; for true repentance does not lead me to compare myself with others, but to recognize that I myself am the sinner in the eyes of God. Any sensible person can understand and approve of the rightness of the Lord's comment on this. For He says that the tax-gatherer returned to his house justified, and not the pharisee. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted!

My beloved think about this?

We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as christ has been raised up from among the dead by the glory of the father, so we also should work in newness of life (Romans 6:4) the son went into death in obedience to the father's will,so that all his counsels might be brought to full fruition.in answer to this, christ has been raised up from among the dead by the glory of the father. The father's pleasure in the work of of the son has thus been declared: his name has not only been glorified in the resurrection of Lazarus, but also in the resurrection of jesus. Man heaped every ignominy upon the lord jesus, condemning him to a death of shame and dishonor: this has been appropriately countered in His being raised by the father's glory. If in life, death, and resurrection, the son sought only the father's glory, His desire to be glorified in heaven was still only for the securing of the glory of the father. What a rebuke to our poor,proud hearts to thus contemplate the perfections of the son of God!yet what infinite delight for us also in having such an object to be constantly engaged with! Jesus never thinks of himself,only of the father's glory and the blessing of those loved ones the father has given him. In this place of exaltation the father has given him authority over all flesh,but the son is concerned still with the glory of the father, and that in the giving of eternal life to those that the father has given him. As we look at the poor world,we can understand the meaning of the lord's words,Righteous father_and the world has not known thee,but i have known thee,and these have known that thou hast sent me(John 17:25).there is no knowledge of the father, no eternal life, to be found in the world's system;this can only be found in the son, who glorifies the father in thus communicating to us the eternal life. In the world, the father is dishonored,but in the son, the father is glorified? Pls my beloved think about it thank you
