He who is forgiven little

You judge and criticize them. You tsk, tsk, as though you got better all on your own. Come on folks! That makes you appreciative of His love and forgiveness. That makes you overflow with love and forgiveness towards others. Stay close to His heart. You do that by staying close to His Word. Something to think about. God bless all of you and I will begin posting on a weekly basis. In His love, Denise. June 12, Categories: The Forgiveness series.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more," and Jesus told him that he had answered correctly. Jesus then pointed out that, when He had entered Simon's house, Simon had shown Him none of the customary courtesies extended to a guest in that time and culture -- such as providing water to wash the dirt off His feet, giving Him a kiss of greeting, or anointing His head with oil.

The woman, on the other hand, had shown her love for Jesus by washing His feet with her tears, and drying them with her hair. She had then kissed his feet, and anointed them with ointment. Therefore, Jesus continued, even though the woman's sins were many, her repentant, loving actions toward Jesus showed that she knew that she needed forgiveness, which she had faith that Jesus could provide.

By contrast, Simon who may have been more outwardly righteous than the woman had not shown as much love to Jesus because he was not aware that he himself had his own "sin debt" that he owed to God even though it may not have been as great to human perception as that of the woman , and for which he also needed to repent, ask God's forgiveness, and show thankfulness and love for God's mercy.

So in response to the question being asked Jesus was making the point that, if we are not each aware of how great our own sin debt to God is in His eyes, we will not have a proper degree of love and gratitude to God for the mercy that He has shown us in making forgiveness of that debt possible for Jesus' sake.
