When Sinners Transform

Jesus encounters a prostitute in a Pharisee's home. While Simon the Pharisee stands in judgment of Jesus, the woman serves Jesus from an overflow of gratitude. It is a wonderful account that Luke uses to illustrate the separation between the self-righteous and those who understand their sin. It is an emotive way to end this important section, but the take-away is clear-- the deeper you understand your forgiveness, the deeper your love for Christ. This is a helpful account for Christians who have grown cold in their walk. It is a call to go back and remember the significance of the debt you owed.
