Do you have the attitude of the Publican or the Pharisee?

In Luke Chapter 18, we see a pharisee who doesn't even know that he has a problem with pride. We can't look down on other people. No matter how respected we may be, we have to recognize that apart from the blood of Jesus Christ, we are no better than filthy rags. We instead need to have the attitude of the publican, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!"
