Luke 7:44-46,

Jesus said to Simon the Pharisee, 

"Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My, feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head."

Simon the Pharisee did not even give Jesus some water to wash His feet when Jesus went into his home. The Pharisee could not serve the Lord because he did not believe in Him. God was saying through this story that the one who has had more sins written off loves the Lord more. The Pharisee was a person who thought that he only had a few shortcomings, and was therefore not a person who was a complete sinner deserving of hell for the wages of his sins.(Romans 6:23).

The woman who had more sins written off loved the Lord more. Such a person knows and admits their true sinful nature, that they are a grave sinner destined for hell. They receive the forgiveness of all their past, presesnt and even furture sins, they love the Lord and serve the Lord to the end.

We are thankful because Jesus Christ took all the worlds sins upon Himself at His baptism from John the Baptist, even though we sin with our hearts and actions until we die. This is the righteousness of Gods love. Therefore, it says that the woman washed the feet of Jesus with her tears. It was the tears of thanksgiving. Visit - www.bjnewlife.org download FREE BOOKS
