Luke 7:36-50 | The Sinful Woman | Johnny Kurcina | Feb. 16, 2025

Simon, the Pharisee, invites Jesus to a dinner party. He fails to offer Jesus the customary greetings and honors. But a woman of the city, a known “sinner,” who joins the poor in the room has come to honor Jesus–she begins weeping, then wiping his feet with her hair, kissing them and anointing them with expensive oils. Everyone is scandalized. Except Jesus, who accepts her acts of worship, honors her publicly, and affirms that forgiveness and salvation are hers.
