This video draws inspiration from Luke 18:9-14, where Jesus breaks down the difference between a self-righteous Pharisee and a humble tax collector. The Pharisee brags about his goodness, while the tax collector just asks for mercy. Jesus shows us that humility and repentance win over self-righteousness.

Visually, we bring this timeless lesson into a modern vibe. The music's lyrics express questions we've all asked ourselves at some point, like "Why do I have to do the right thing?" "Why was I betrayed?" "Why be the bigger person?" "Why should I care about someone who hurt me?" This video is about the real questions we ask ourselves and God.

By blending these stories, we hope you can vibe with the artist's journey while picking up something new about what Jesus thinks of self-righteousness. The tax collector's humility is a lesson for us all.

My hope is that you see yourself in these characters and that their stories resonate with you.

Special thanks to Stafford Christian Church for letting me and our team use the temple’s space.

Thank you Koerner for letting us use your Cooke Speed Panchro set.

Finally Gear Head for supporting us with the Grip and Electric equipment we needed to make this look as lit as we needed it to be!
