The Woman that Loved Much

Luke 7:36-50

When I read this story there so many things that comes to my mind.

When we see people with problem, do we offer solutions to them or condemn them

People knew this woman as a sinner but none offered help instead people condemned her.

This woman came to Jesus knowing he was full of compassion rather than being judgmental like the Pharisees

This woman felt really sorry for her sins, she was weeping and wiping the Masters feet with her hair and applying the spice. And Jesus knew exactly what she wanted. She did not come to be healed of any physical diseases, she was sick in her soul, sin was her sickness, but she came to be forgiven of her sins. She did not say a word but the Master knew what was tormenting her soul. She recognized she had sinned much. Because of her repentance and love she was forgiven of all her sins.

Just uses her story to tell a parable. He that is forgiven much loves much. Do we realize that Jesus has forgiven us much and that we should also love him much.

God bless you as you ponder on these words!
