"Who Will Love Him More?"
by James Seward

Luke 7:36-50
Simon, a Pharisee, has invited Jesus to come and eat with him. As they ate a woman came in with an alabaster container of ointment. Weeping, she washed his feet with the ointment. Simon and his friends were amazed that this woman, noted as a sinner, would come in and do such an extravagant thing.

Jesus, being aware of Simon's derogatory attitude, spoke to him in a parable of a creditor which had two debtors, one owing 500 pence and the other 5 pence. The creditor forgave them both. Which of them will love him (the creditor) most? Simon answered, "To whom he forgave the most." Jesus replied, "You have rightly judged."

Jesus admonished Simon for his lack of love. He had not washed His feet, had given Him no kiss. This woman showed her love of Jesus by her tears, kissing His feet and anointing. The final point was that she loved Him very much. Though her sins were many, Jesus said, "Your sins are forgiven." My own comment: do you see the tremendous grace and love of God?
