 Jesus said, Im telling you now, God listened to that bad man because he was sorry for the bad things he did, so God says that he is all right, and he will not punish that man. But God doesnt say that about the other man that already reckoned he was good. You see, if you try to make yourself important, God will make you like nothing. But if you make yourself like nothing, God will make you important. We have not yet translated 18:15-43. You can read those stories and messages in Mark 10:13-34, 46-52.
