We enter into one of the greatest chapters in all of Scripture today, with Jesus giving us two parables addressed to the self-righteous in His midst.  Those to whom He is speaking have a tendency to divide the world in two - those in and those out.  The righteous and the non-righteous.  Jesus sees no such divide.  He sees people in need of God's grace.  How about us?  How do we see the world?  These parables challenge us today every bit as much as those Pharisees and scribes 2,000 years ago.
