—Luke 7:37-48
by: Jasmine Lynch.
In this text we get a glimpse of: 1) God’s character through His Son’s actions; 2) man’s attitude; 3) what we should do and not do. True repentance requires humility and, sometimes, giving our prized possession to the cause. It is easy to say, “I am sorry,” but are you willing to give that which is precious to expand the kingdom? Jesus commended the sinner both for coming to Him in humility and for the sacrifice she made. The people criticized Jesus for interacting with a sinner. The woman received far more than what she gave up—forgiveness and a changed life. What are you willing to give up? Do you feel that what you will receive is worth the sacrifice?
