ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Luke 18:9-14 records a parable of Jesus illustrating the moral and spiritual necessity of applying equal weights & measures. Verse 9 reveals the occasion for this illustration: “He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:..”. With this teaching Jesus identified how the perennial sin of pride influences us to be patient with ourselves collecting excuses for our shortcomings all the while we are often quick to judge others by a different standard. The organizing theme of Proverbs 20 reminds us that God hates unequal weights & measures (10, 23). Furthermore, this chapter trains us to be consistent in our assessments internally & externally as we apply the standards of scripture to every day life
