Last night's Bible study in the Patos church went so well. Really good! It was on Luke 7:36-50 with the story of the prostitute washing Jesus' feet at a meal at a Pharisee's house. A brilliant example of God's grace and love in Jesus because Jesus was not misinformed about who was washing his feet (as the Pharisee thought) but had come to save exactly such people who are sick and recognize their need of a doctor! "He that's forgiven most loves (expresses more gratitude = Hebrew phrase) the most"! Wow! The place took off last night!
It needs to be emphasized that clearly this woman has previously been reached by Jesus and ministered to by Him. This was her expressing her gratitude and Jesus declaring publicly that she was saved from a life of sin and worthlessness. She even poured perfume on Jesus' feet probably bought by her previous illicit earnings! Woo-hoo! Fantastic!
