The sinful woman, tears for Jesus.
That is why her eyes began to change and what was seen in her was:
Tears for Jesus. Everyone knew her as a sinful woman, but her selfless demonstration of unreserved worship changed the way everyone remembers her now. Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of a man known as Simon the leper. "Then a woman of the city, who was a sinner, knowing that Jesus was at the table in the house of the Pharisee, brought a bottle of alabaster with perfume, and being behind him, crying, began to water with tears. and he hath mopped them with his hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with perfume "(Luke 7: 37-38).
Can you imagine the depth of that woman's crying? - And that her tears were enough to cleanse the dusty feet of Jesus! - Imagine the gratitude that she had, that made her demonstrate with such courage her devotion and adoration to the man who was sitting at the table.
I had heard him speak of the Kingdom of heaven, he had understood the heart of the Lord, he saw the miracles he did, and he freed himself from his old way of life because he accepted it with affection.
With tears that flowed from a sobbing heart, I wash the tired feet of the lord and wipe them with the strands of his hair. Then I perfume his feet with oil from his alabaster vessel, valued at one year's salary.
Wow... what an expression of love, of this woman, for her lord! - perhaps how much it cost her to collect that salary, which was valued after a year of work- There were no limits to the love she felt for Jesus, when others they disapproved of his extravagance, Jesus spoke to them firmly (lucas 7; 43-47). Oh, to have the opportunity to kiss the beautiful feet of Jesus...
Genuine tears, with humility and pain for having sinned, move Jesus, crying at his feet is the most sublime act of adoration that a mortal can have; they are an expression of humility and recognition of our condition and need of Him.
Sinful women are victims. Jesus saves.
very good reflection apostol @ darlenys01, our lord jesus, read the thought of all humans, and this sinner was not the ecepcion, because it showed that He loved her, against all, and even though she was a sinner, her repentance and humility took her to find salvation, peace and hope.
The tears of this woman, touch the heart of Jesus, definitely the only thing we need is to recognize that only Jesus can cleanse, save and heal us.
Good post @ darlenys01.
Jesus Christ always awaits us, always awaits our return, because He loves us, but He expects us to come to Him, with a repentant, humbled and faith-filled heart.
Jesus Christ is our hope and salvation. He deserves all sacrifice, because the elder and He did it on the cross of Calvary.
Thank you apostol @darlenys, for this teaching. God bless you!!
This scene shows us the great mercy of God for sinners.
the mercy of God is born of our frailty, of our humility to recognize errors and sins, of our human condition, and above all, of his love.
A repentant and humble heart does not reject our God. He is worthy of all glory and honor !!
Excellent teaching @ darlenys01. There are people who mourn for anything, but crying at the feet of Jesus is priceless, this sinner when the world judged her, she wept at the feet of Jesus and received comfort, peace and salvation.
Our God is infinitely powerful, glorious, majestic ... that's why I love you, God of my heart!
To enjoy the Biblical teachings through your preachings apostle darlenys01, it is very pleasing for me, thank you for always reminding us that our eternal Father, is there to help us, when we come to his presence with humility and repentance. Giving Jesus the best of our lives is a sublime act. Blessings!
How many times have we feel remorse for an act.... As Christians what we need to learn from this message is to into prayers when we sin against the Almighty and he too is faithful and just to forgive us. Greetings dear sister.
It's one of the most moving episodes I've read in the Bible, Sister Darlenys.
God is always compassionate to as many that diligently repent from their heart and take steps to live a righteous life that is worthy of His kingdom.
The woman in this context shows how important her salvation is and she shows this by engaging her hair to clean the feet of Christ.
