One of my favorite stories from the New Testament is found in Luke 7.
Jesus is invited to dinner by one of the Pharises. A woman there washes Jesus' feet with her tears and wipes them with the hair of her head. The pharise and Simon judge Jesus for his association with a sinner.
Jesus then teaches us of the parable of the debters. One owed little and one owed much. Both were frankly forgiven. He asks, "which of them will love him most?"
Simon answers, "I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most."
And Jesus taught those present of the love and respect that was shown to Him by a sinner, yet those of respectability did not show Him even the slightest consideration as a specially invited guest.
He taught them of love... and also forgiveness.
Task for the day:
- Read Luke 7: 36-50
- Read it until you feel it.....the way that woman felt it.
- Forgive your spouse
