God Reflections: Luke 7 by ric gustafson
Jesus loves people. In Luke 7, Jesus is at a dinner at the home of a Pharisee. His name was Simon. During the dinner, a woman crashed the party. She was described as a woman of questionable reputation. Tradition is that the woman was Mary Magdalene.
She comes in carrying an alabaster jar of costly ointment. She is weeping. She falls at Jesus's feet. She begins washing them with her tears. She dries them with her hair. She pours the costly oil on his feet. Simon has horror on his face.
Jesus knows what Simon is thinking. He tells a parable about two men whose debts were forgiven. Mary knew she had been forgiven by Jesus. Simon did not. She thanked Jesus with her love. Simon had no clue.
Why have we been forgiven much?. Jesus went to the cross to make that happen. Because of what Jesus did for us, we should have immense love in our hearts.
Jesus loves us more than anything else.
