47 Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. 46 You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. 45 You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”Ĥ3 Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.”Īnd He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” 44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. 42 And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”Ĥ0 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”Ĥ1 “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors.
37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9ģ6 Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” ~ John 1:17 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” ~ Ephesians 2:8-9 Then grace, which is of God, bringing humility. God operates, not in addition, but multiplication… as in the verse “21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”Ģ2 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” ~ Mathew 18:21-22 To go deeper still, if I’ve been shown Mercy, then I’ve also received forgiveness (of course upon asking) so if I’ve been forgiven, I must also forgive in greater measure than the forgiveness I’ve been given and give mercy in greater measure than that which I’ve received. “To whom much is given (mercy ) from him much will be required (more mercy). In the keeping with scripture and gifts, blessings For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.” ~ Luke 12:48 “But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. This also brings to mind the following scripture: Little did I know Cece Winans also has a song about it… I’ve posted a link below. I’ve been pondering lately scripture about the woman and the alabaster box.
