- Luke 7:36-38, Now one of the
Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the
Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.
- When a woman who had
lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the
Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
- And as she stood
behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her
tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume
on them.
Commentary
from the NIV: v.
36, A similar incident occurred later in Jesus ministry (see Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-11)
v.
37, Alabaster jars were carved, expensive, and beautiful.
v. 38, Although the woman was not an invited
guest, she entered the house anyway and knelt behind Jesus at his feet. In
Jesus¡¦ day, it was customary to recline while eating. Dinner quests would lie
on couches with their heads near the table, propping themselves up on one
elbow and stretching their feet out behind them. The woman could easily
anoint Jesus¡¦ feet without approaching the table.
B. A Lesson on Gratitude
(Forgiven on Love More): Lk.
7:39-47
- When the Pharisee who
had invited him saw this, he said to himself, "If this man were a
prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is--that
she is a sinner."
- Jesus answered him,
"Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me,
teacher," he said.
- "Two men owed
money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and
the other fifty.
- Neither of them had
the money to pay him back, so he canceled the debts of both. Now which
of them will love him more?"
- Simon replied,
"I suppose the one who had the bigger debt canceled."
"You have judged correctly," Jesus said.
- Then he turned toward
the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I came into
your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my
feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
- You did not give me a
kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing
my feet.
- You did not put oil
on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.
- Therefore, I tell
you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who
has been forgiven little loves little."
Commentary from the NIV. P2147, V. 44, Luke
contrasts the Pharisees with sinners ¡V and the sinners come out ahead. Simon
had committed several social errors in neglecting to wash Jesus¡¦ feet (a
courtesy extended to quests because sandaled feet got very dirty), anoint his
head with oil, and offer him the kiss to greeting. Did Simon perhaps feel
that he was too good to treat Jesus as an equal? The sinful woman, by
contrast, lavished tears, expensive perfume, and kisses on her Savior, in
this story it is the grateful prostitute, and not the stingy religious
leader, whose sins were forgiven. Although it is God¡¦s grace through faith
that saves us, and not acts of love or generosity, this woman¡¦s act
demonstrated her true faith, and Jesus honored her faith.
V. 47, Overflowing love is the natural response
to forgiveness and the appropriate consequence of faith. But only those who
realize the depth of their sin can appreciate the complete forgiveness God
offers them. Jesus has rescued all of his followers, whether they were once
extremely wicked or conventionally good, from eternal death. Do you
appreciate the wideness of God¡¦s mercy? Are you grateful for his forgiveness?
(NIV Commentary p.2147)
C. Blessing
and Reinstatement: Luke 7:48-50
Luke 5:32, Jesus
said, ¡§I
have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." That woman accepted God¡¦s forgiveness,
thus expressing faith. By embracing God¡¦s grace she experienced God¡¦s
salvation. Now, with the words ¡¥Go in peace¡I¡¦Jesus reinstated her into the community.
POINTS:
- Jesus said that the
woman¡¦s faith had saved her. Even she didn¡¦t verbally express faith but by action ¡V Therefore, we know
that Actions speak louder than words.
- No matter how deep of our sins, God
forgives our mistake ¡V Therefore, we have to believe in Him.
- Be brave to express God¡¦s love and
forgiveness to others.
THINK
ABOUT IT:
- How bold is your gratitude for God¡¦s
forgiveness¡H
- Are you willing to overcome social
norms to express your love for God¡H
- 1 John 5:11-12, ¡§And this is the
testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12, he who has the Son has
life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
