I’m sure each of us can honestly say that we have
judged something or someone on an outward appearance at one point or
another. It may not even have been
intentional. The
Pharisees were no different. In Luke 7
we see this happening. Jesus on the
other hand, did not judge this sinful woman that washed his feet with her
tears.
Luke 7:44-47
Then he turned toward the woman and said to
Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any
water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with
her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I
entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did
not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore,
I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But
whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
The Pharisees were had judged the woman and felt
that she was not worthy of being in the presence of Jesus. Yet Jesus put them in their place, telling
them that she had been forgiven.
Each of us have been forgiven in a big way,
therefore we should also show love to others in a big way.
