  4. The sinful woman(Verses 37 & 38) She had previously lived an immoral life She was still living with the stigma She was clearly repentant and remorseful She heard that Jesus was at the Pharisees house She went there to anoint Jesus She was overcome with gratitude and love

  5. The Pharisee(Verse 39) The Pharisee is judging Jesus The Pharisee comes to the wrong conclusion The Pharisee does not understand grace Theologically Practically Our theology affects our actions The Pharisee’s mixed ideas about Jesus

  6. Jesus teaching to the Pharisee(Verses 40 – 47) Jesus answers Simons thought question Jesus uses a parable Jesus compares Simon and the woman to the characters in the story Jesus challenges Simon’s thinking in a gentle, loving and practical way

  7. Jesus forgives the sinful woman(Verses 48 – 50) Jesus acknowledges her “many sins” Jesus acknowledges her great love Jesus publicly pronounces forgiveness The people wondered about Jesus Jesus acknowledges the woman’s faith

  8. So what? Do we treat everyone as individuals? Do we embrace hospitality as a tool in evangelism and ministry? Do we seek opportunity to learn in all situations? Do we seek to see people as God does? Do we see who they are and can be? Do we cling to who they were and their past sin Do we welcome those in whom Jesus is working Are we careful to examine people’s lives and teaching to see whether they are speaking the truth? Are we open to God challenging our thoughts and preconceived ideas as we do so? Do we test our theology by its fruit as well as by scripture? How do we go about challenging people who are in the wrong? Do we seek to keep a right balance in acknowledging both our sinfulness and God’s grace and forgiveness Do we accept those the Lord has forgiven?
