From the story of the Prodigal Son, Jesus teaches that it's often our righteous acts - even more than our sin - that prevents us from coming to God and receiving His grace.
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.
