In the parable of the prodigal son, we see a picture of a loving father lovingly entreating his selfish and self-righteous son to turn from his ways and embrace his father's riches. God our father looks at us and lovingly invites us to do the same.
Jesus says that in order to inherit the Kingdom, we must become like children. What does He mean by this?
In the parable of the praying Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus shows us that self-righteousness always prevents us from experiencing God's mercy.
Following Jesus means having a mindset that sees beyond the here and now.
