Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
She learned of Him.
She brought an alabaster jar of
perfume.
She stood behind Him at his feet.
She wet His feet with her tears.
She wiped them with her hair.
She kissed them and poured perfume on
them.
She was a sinful woman.
He sat at the table of Simon a
Pharisee.
He spoke as the woman wept.
He said “I have something to tell you
Simon.”
He narrated the story of a money
lender.
He explained the connection between
the parable and the woman.
He told her “Your faith has saved
you; go in peace.”
Luke 7:47: Therefore, I
tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves
little.”
If he who has been forgiven little
loves little
Then he who has been forgiven much
loves much
So what was the heart of Jesus teaching them, and us?
Increased forgiveness results in greater love. In turn the outcome
of love is forgiveness.
Think about that.
