People's Bible Notes for Luke 18:14


Lu 18:14 This man went . . . justified. With his sins forgiven. His prayer was answered; not the proud boasts of the Pharisee. Ryle says: ``This parable teaches us the spirit that should pervade our prayers. The first parable encourages us to pray, and faint not. The second reminds us how we ought to pray. Both should be often pondered by every true Christian.''
