John Bradshaw - She Kissed His Feet (10/31/2022)
It was customary in Jesus day, in Jesus culture, to wash the feet of honored guests. Simon the pharisee failed to provide that courtesy when Jesus visited his home, but a woman who invited herself to Simon's home took it upon herself to wash Jesus feet with her tears. Luke 7:38 says, “She 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.”
She fell at Jesus feet, considered to be very much a less honorable part of the body in Jesus day, and showed him great honor. Jesus explained that she loved much because she'd been forgiven much. Forgiveness is a seriously big deal. Knowing God has forgiven your sins should impact you. Remember to always be grateful for grace. I'm John Bradshaw for It Is Written.
