Read the passage: Luke 7:36-50
Many of us look down on people who act or live differently than we do. The longer we stay comfortable in our churches, the more diligently we need to examine our own hearts.
It gets easy to fall into the same trap as the Pharisees. Sure, maybe we become outwardly flawless, rule keeping and it looks like we have our lives all together. But deep down in our hearts, where many people can’t see- we are prideful, lustful, self centered and judgmental.
We lack love, we lack mission, lack commitment to Jesus and our hearts are hard. Sure, we’ll do some things right, just like Simon the Pharisee did. But we’ll be missing the intensity that we see from this woman in our story. In Jesus’ words, we will love little.
