A Forgiven Sinners Love

Luke 7:44   

"And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? 

I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: 

but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped 

them with the hairs of her head."

        What a trio! Christ stands here as a manifestation of the divine love, as it comes among sinners. The love of God is not dependent on our merits; the word frankly, in Luke 7:42, is "freely." It is not turned away by our sins: she is a sinner. It manifests itself as the clearing of debts. But it demands recognition and service: "Thou gavest me no kiss. But this women, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss feet."
        The woman represents those who express sorrow for sin and wrong doing and lovingly recognize the divine love. She was not forgiven because of her love; but her love was the sign that she had been forgiven and recognized it. What will not God’s love do! What Jesus did for her He can do for our many sins. Pardon will lead to much love, and love becomes the gate of knowledge and the source of obedience. "And he said to the women, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace (Luke 7:50)."

        Amen!!
