Lent 2014 page 7 by ric gustafson
Luke 7:47- ' This is why I tell you that her many sins have been forgiven; so she has shown great love'.
The woman in this passage grasped grace and she displayed love and devotion to Jesus. Jesus offers forgiveness to her and to everyone. A Pharisee did not value forgiveness and discounted his own sin. The Pharisee in this story did not treat Jesus as an honored guest. He judged Jesus for accepting her display of hospitality. She washed Jesus's feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
We need the grace of Jesus to stand before God. We cannot be whole without Jesus's forgiveness. We all want to hear Jesus say to us " your faith has saved you, go in peace".
