Luke 7:36—8:56

“To whom little is forgiven, the same loves little” (Luke 7:47). The Pharisee who hosted Jesus in his home was too proud to worship Him. Whereas the woman known as a “sinner” entered boldly, broke a costly box of perfume at His feet, and worshipped with her tears. Both people were equally sinful, yet only one received forgiveness. May this story be a warm welcome to enter boldly into the forgiveness Jesus freely offers.
