Enter broken woman(Luke 7:36-38)
• There was shock as she entered ( v37)• She had lived a sinful life ( v37)• “And as she stood behind him at his feet,
weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiping them with her hair” ( v38)
Things about Simon(Critical hearted Pharisee –
Luke 7:39-50)1. He has a heart problem (Luke 7:39)2. Labelling problem (also refer Matthew 7:1)3. Spiritual Glaucoma (also refer Matthew
23:26) – He saw the problem not the potential
4. A spectator and not a participator (Mark 3:2)
Jesus teaches Simon (us) Four important truths:
1. Everybody has a past (Luke 7:41)2. A forgiven past leads to a love for God (Luke
7:42)3. Salvation from the past comes by faith (Luke
7:50)4. Salvation from your past is your way to peace
(Luke 7:50)
Where does she go in peace? The one place she’s welcomed is on the street,
among the people who are like her. She can’t go there. What she needs is a community of forgiving and forgiven
sinners. This story screams for the need for a church, not just any church but
one that says “you are welcome here”.- Fred Craddick -
