verse 11 —> Idolotry in the temple
confident in himself because he hasn’t commited these big sins
v. 12 —> it’s good that he does these things but, even in the temple, he’s not mindful of what YHWH has done to redeem Israel or to keep his promises to Israel.
The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition Chapter 18
ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.
“be merciful to me…the sinner”
The Greek New Testament: SBL Edition Chapter 18
δεδικαιωμένος
Having been justified (put in a right relationship with God) Having been put in the right state before God (forgiveness)
Those who are humble and seek forgiveness are those who God puts into a right relationship with Him. The Tax collector turns to God in faith.
The Pharisee doesn’t trust in God but in himself.
Confidence in our faith our righteousness?
enter into the kingdom with nothing to offer as the tax collector does (and as a little child)
Jesus takes the nothing and lifts us up.
You cannot enter the kingdom if not as one who is needy and totally dependent upon God. We have nothing to offer God. Indeed all we can do is pray for God’s mercy and talk about who YHWH is in Jesus Christ (justifies, calls, and redeems His people)
