Luke 18: The Pharisee, the Tax Collector and the Rich Young Ruler

In Luke 14:11 we read:
11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

In Luke 18, the pharisee and the tax collector are praying in a synagogue. The Lord listens to the tax collector who is praying for mercy, but He doesn't listen to the Pharisee who exalts himself.

In a similar way, the rich young ruler exalts himself saying that he obeys the commandments, however Jesus showed that he couldn´t let his wealth go and in a way, Jesus humbled him.

In fact, every man must approach the Lord with great care because no one is good before the Lord. Only the Lord is good.
