“My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.”
Luke 7:46-47 KJV
How much does Jesus’s death and resurrection mean to us today? Jesus said that the Pharisee didn’t take the time to anoint Jesus’s Head with fragrant oil, like the woman with the questionable reputation did as she anointed Jesus’s Head and Feet with the finest perfume, for she knew that she had been forgiven of all her many sins, so she showed Him extravagant love. But those who assume they have very little to be forgiven will love Jesus very little. In fact, the death and resurrection of Jesus will have no value to them, they depend on their own righteousness before the Holy God like the Pharisee did. This is the Gospel of grace in the new covenant that we give Jesus’s finished work on the Cross the highest esteem. Let’s love Him by spending time with Him, resting in His bosom like the disciple whom Jesus loved! Let’s express our love for Jesus by loving others around us! Thank You Jesus for Your grace and love!
