This story is about…the Pharisees and other

and not in the Savior.

“The first link between my soul and Christ is not my
goodness, but my badness; not my merit, but my misery;
not my standing, but my falling; not my riches, but my need.” –Kent Hughes
“Those who are well have no need of a
physician, but those who are sick. I did not
