And now, the rest of the story.
Luke 7:36-50
Listening Guide
Consider the back story in every case.
Before the story When Jesus Was Annointed by the Sinful Woman that we all know so well found in Luke 7:36-50, the woman was a harlot who had beauty, wealth and power. But she was tortured by the words she heard from Christ and decided she would give it up for Him.
Afterwards, this is what she had to tell us (this is read on the video as the epilogue to the story):
I left that house and went skipping down the road with my hair down and with tears of joy in my eyes. The next day I spent a whole day at the feet of Jesus and I suddenly wasn’t getting cut with every word.
It’s as though every word was gold. And speaking of riches, gold stopped being my idol, my looks became less important to me and knowing the truth of the scriptures and more of Jesus Christ’s truth became the biggest priority in my life.
Jesus made me consider my every thought and move in later years. I gave much of my fortune to the church. I was given a role to play in the redemption of many people in my land.
It does not matter what your secret sin is. It does not matter what power your sin has over you and what deficiencies hold you back from walking in the purity and the liberty of full obedience to Jesus Christ. One thing is true, the worse a sinner you are when you meet Jesus, the more you love Him when He accepts you with open arms. I urge you, don’t let pride stop you from weeping in your next worship service, take the liberty to fall to your knees in church and weep and confess your sins at your Master’s feet. Bring your best oil and anoint the foot of the cross and worship the only man in the world that NEVER gave in to sin. We owe Jesus our whole lives as he freed us from every debt on that cross.
Kneel at church and confess your sins and ask for prayer and to be anointed and set free and Jesus will meet with you just as sure as He met with me!
