—Luke 7:36-50

The text describes this woman as “immoral.” The Pharisees were already privy to the sins of the woman and could not fathom how Jesus allowed her to touch Him. When we are prideful, we fail to extend love to sinners and people who may carry an odor, have torn garments or are of a poor background. Jesus saw beyond the woman’s sins and reputation. We can easily forget where Jesus brought us from when we have been in the church for a while, but let us not forget that we too were no better than this immoral woman. Jesus forgave this woman’s sins, and He has forgiven our sins. Let us bring others to Him so they too can be forgiven, irrespective of their reputation.
