Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in
themselves that they were righteous, and despised
others

3
Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a
Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Luke 1810
4
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,
God, I thank You that I am not like other men
extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
tax collector.
Luke 1811
5
I fast twice a week I give tithes of all that I
possess. 13 And the tax collector, standing
afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to
heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner!
Luke 1812-13
6
I tell you, this man went down to his house
justified rather than the other for everyone who
exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles

Conclusion
Dr. Frank Crane defines humility as follows
It is the wish to be great and the dread of being
called great. It is the wish to help and the
dread of thanks. It is the love of service and
the distaste for rule. It is trying to be good
and blushing when caught.
16
Measure yourself by your eagerness to decrease
so that Christ may be all in all. Measure
yourself by your willingness for others to
receive the prominence while you are forgotten,
for others to receive credit for what you have
worked so hard to achieve. Measure yourself by
your joy in working the hardest in the most
obscure positions. Wesley Deuwel
