• When all of our idols are taken away, all our securities and defense mechanisms,
  we find out who we really are. We’re so little, so poor, so emptyand a shock to ourselves. But the Biblical God takes away our shame,
  and we are eventually able to present ourselves in an honest and humble form.
  Then we find out who we really are and who God is for usand it is more than enough. That is how an enslaved people became God’s people, Israel.

• We can hardly say that the Pharisees had an accurate ‘knowledge’ of man when they pointed to the sins (the real sins) of publicans and sinners. This judgment, which separated knowledge of man from self-knowledge, was as nothing in God’s eyes. The Jew did not have a better understanding because he was able to judge the heathen. In the sphere of abstract morality this could possibly be said, but this is not Biblical morality - O man, who judgest others!
