Jesus Vs. Pride

PRAY.COM
About this episode

What does it mean to be Holy? Is it being perfect or humbling reaching for God?

Jesus confronts the corruption and hypocricy of the religious leaders. Without fear, he delivers a harsh but truthful message. He is making enemies with powerful people, but that’s all a part of the plan.

Today's Bible verse is Psalm 51:6, from the King James Version.
