- Description
- Stewart preaches on God's mercy from Luke 18:10-14. The Tax Collector threw himself entirely upon the mercy of God for forgiveness compared to the Pharisee. Humans wish to control God through religious action and achievement resulting in self-justification. In this regard, God is recalcitrant towards who He bestows mercy upon. Unlike the desires of humans, God shows mercy towards those who seek His mercy rather than through self-justification. For the Pharisee, his prayer is one directed towards himself, exhibiting pride and self-dependence. Stewart warns listeners not to compare themselves with others. The Christian minister is particularly in danger of becoming proud and self-exalting as they serve their congregation and must, therefore, be weary.
