Jesus Came for the Sick

DAY 3 OF 5

The Power of Humility

This parable, mentioned in the reading, contrasts the prayer of a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee's prayer is full of pride, while the tax collector humbly asks for mercy. Jesus concludes that it was the tax collector who went home justified. Today, reflect on the power of humility in your spiritual life. How often do you approach God with a heart of genuine repentance and need? Consider areas in your life where you might be acting more like the Pharisee, comparing yourself favorably to others. Ask God to cultivate a humble heart within you, one that recognizes its constant need for His grace and mercy.

About this Plan

Jesus Came for the Sick

This plan explores Jesus' ministry to those considered spiritually sick and sinful by society. It emphasizes that all people are spiritually ill and in need of Christ's healing. We highlight Jesus' willingness to associate with tax collectors and sinners, contrasting this with the attitudes of the religious leaders. The plan encourages readers to recognize their own spiritual sickness, accept Jesus as the great physician, and follow His example in reaching out to others in need of spiritual healing.
