Luke 7:36-50

 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to eat with him, so Jesus went into the Pharisee\u2019s house and sat at the table. A sinful woman in the town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee\u2019s house. So she brought an alabaster jar of perfume and stood behind Jesus at his feet, crying. She began to wash his feet with her tears, and she dried them with her hair, kissing them many times and rubbing them with the perfume. When the Pharisee who asked Jesus to come to his house saw this, he thought to himself, \u201cIf Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman touching him is a sinner!\u201d Jesus said to the Pharisee, \u201cSimon, I have something to say to you.\u201d Simon said, \u201cTeacher, tell me.\u201d Jesus said, \u201cTwo people owed money to the same banker. One owed five hundred coins and the other owed fifty. They had no money to pay what they owed, but the banker told both of them they did not have to pay him. Which person will love the banker more?\u201d Simon, the Pharisee, answered, \u201cI think it would be the one who owed him the most money.\u201d Jesus said to Simon, \u201cYou are right.\u201d Then Jesus turned toward the woman and said to Simon, \u201cDo you see this woman? When I came into your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave me no kiss of greeting, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in. You did not put oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. I tell you that her many sins are forgiven, so she showed great love. But the person who is forgiven only a little will love only a little.\u201d Then Jesus said to her, \u201cYour sins are forgiven.\u201d The people sitting at the table began to say among themselves, \u201cWho is this who even forgives sins?\u201d Jesus said to the woman, \u201cBecause you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.\u201d

When we do not understand something we fear it, when we fear it we reject it or run from it. Embrace all forms of God's love. God Bless.
