I think we do tend to judge people as less or more sinful, but while I was getting tempted to think, "Maybe if I sin more, I will have more reason for repentance and maybe yield more devotedly to God". My God ministered to me. Ofcourse Paul's words about whether we should sin more to recieve more grace flew right to me. As first defense. The truth is, we dont need a saviour if we dont truly believe our selves sinner. Tim Keller has drilled this in me this how season. In this social and economy climate, we seem to always need to self justify but we should let Jesus do that. But more some we need to continuely engage God is everything because you cant apologise to someone who isnt in you presence. Anyone being apologised to knows they dont want the person to make a show of it, bit rather stop doing things they do not want done. And also that they seek reconciliation. With humans its had to gain trust back. With God, he wasnt the reconciliation, and He can see our hearts. So, we know what he seeks: reconciliation and we know if we stay with him we all get more aware of how to truly be happy. I also need to look more at the cross as a simple of love rather than something a God can handle for His people. Its hard to break the habit but I will learn to be wrong and let only God's word be right... Somehow.
Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat. And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil, and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil. Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This Man, if He were a prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.” And Jesus answered and said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” So he said, “Teacher, say it.” “There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?” Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have rightly judged.” Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “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. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” Then He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?” Then He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
