Luke chapter 7
I love this story about Jesus when Simon, a Pharisee, invites Jesus to his house for dinner and a woman, whom the Bible called “immoral” begins to wash Jesus’ feet with her tears and hair. Simon because he saw himself as righteous must have seen Jesus as in interesting character to be studied and influential, something he hoped to be but this woman saw him as Savior, Lord, and the Deliverer of her past! Simon looked on her as someone to avoid but Jesus welcomed her with open arms because he was not blind as Simon supposed but rather he knew her life in intimate detail and even more importantly he knew her heart and who she wanted to be. You see people look at the book’s cover but God not only opens the cover to look inside but he knows how our story ends, he knows our desires even the ones we are afraid to dream and our purpose, the very reason we were created! Because of this God is able to look beyond all the things we can’t and if we humble ourselves before His feet and open our hearts to Him He is faithful to forgive us and give us a new start, a brand new life.
