Broken and Forgiven

Broken and Forgiven

Jesus was sitting among the Pharisees at a feast when a woman of questionable repute came in. She wept at His feet and anointed Him with precious perfume. She knew she needed the healing and wholeness that He could bring. When one of the Pharisees, Simon, began to question Jesus for allowing this, Jesus called him out and revealed the condition of their hearts.

Luke 7:43
In our last episode, we heard how Jesus healed in ways that left people speechless and astounded at this man who was among them. His power to heal with just a word, even to bring the dead back to life, brought many followers. Still, they did not truly understand His purpose or power, even as they heard him speak and watched him heal. They did not know this was the long-awaited Messiah who brought the ultimate, complete healing they needed. Today we’ll meet a woman who approached Jesus boldly in her brokenness to worship at His feet. Her presence would disturb the legalistic establishment but Jesus would recognize her sacrifice and her deep need of Him, and honor her for her actions.
