Jesus and Simon the pharisee
Jesus was at the home of a Pharisee named Simon. While they were eating dinner, a woman with a not-so-great reputation burst into the room and ran to Jesus. She knelt before Him, kissed his feet, and poured oil on them. Simon couldn’t believe Jesus would allow such a woman to touch Him. But Jesus came to her defense. He told a parable that showed them that her gratitude was in response to all that she’d been forgiven. This woman was so overwhelmed by gratitude for all that God had done for her that she couldn’t wait to find Jesus. Isn’t it incredible to think of all that God has done for us? Let’s take time this week to thank Him for His incredible and totally undeserved grace.
