Grace leads to gratitude

A fundamental belief of the Christian faith is the exceeding and incomprehensible love of God in Jesus Christ. The Gospels detail the life and ministry of Christ on earth and are replete with instances which convey the matchless love and care of Jesus. One such account is found in Luke’s Gospel (Luke 7:36-50). The account details an experience at dinner with a Pharisee (Simon) in which Jesus declares forgiveness upon a woman who was apparently known by all as a wretched sinner. Underneath the surface, however, the story also reveals Jesus’ love for all including the Pharisee who invited him to dinner. In this account, the truth is borne that whether respected or despised, Jesus loves and offers forgiveness to everyone equally, for everyone is equally in need of his mercy. Unpacking the Luke’s account is certainly beneficial in clarifying the gospel truth and understanding the questions that may arise from the text. Three primary imperatives are offered from these verses that stem from the overarching truth of Jesus’ great love for everyone.

Easter 2020 will be one we all remember… it was the Easter we were all stuck at home under quarantine. Yet it’s somehow fitting, as the message this week takes place in someone’s home.

Luke 7:36-50

We begin a new series this Fall entitled, "Questions from Jesus: Invitations to Grow." Jesus' first recorded words was a question (only 12 years old in Luke 2:50!). In the gospels he asks almost 300 questions! Why? Questions stretch us and force us to deal with issues we often try to avoid. The claim of the semester is that Jesus asks us questions as invitations for us to grow - both in self-awareness of who we are and in our knowledge of God and who He is. Each week we look at a different interaction where Jesus asks someone a question. I invite you to take Jesus' questions seriously - he's asking you because he loves you and wants you to grow!This week we look at an interaction between a very important Pharisee named Simon and a broken 'woman of the city'. Simon hosts a dinner party and invites Jesus to eat with him. During the meal, a prostitute causes a scandalous scene by throwing herself at Jesus' feet with ointment and great sobs. While Simon judges the weeping woman (for her sins) and Jesus (for allowing her to touch him), Jesus receives her broken love. He then tells Simon a story reminding us that only forgiven sinners are able to love much. We will look at what stops us from loving much, who shows us how to love much, and how can we start to love much.TEXT: Luke 7:36-50

What makes you feel uncomfortable? In Luke 7, we encounter what might be the most uncomfortable social and ethical situation Jesus ever faced. His response teaches us that it's okay for us to let grace get a little out of hand from time to time...

In every friendship or relationship there must be a level of intimacy. Intimacy happens when you choose to let another person know who you are. Intimacy can only take place when communication occurs. The best friendships will fail when the two people stop sharing and communicating with each other. Does your relationship with Jesus have a growing level of intimacy? Jesus wants to know you, but you must allow it. Will you embrace the close and intimate relationship He wants to have with you?
