Evening: Psalms 111, 112, 113; Luke 7:36-50
Jesus’
purpose is reconciliation … to bring things into right relationship.
For him, reconciliation is our human purpose, above all else. Where
relationships are broken, the way to heal them is through forgiveness.
Someone must take the initiative. Jesus tells the woman who anoints his
feet that she is forgiven – they both know for what. Then her actions
overflow with gratitude. Jesus is not only saying that he
forgives her, he is saying she is forgiven, completely. Love forgives,
naturally, and those who are forgiven love. Seek Love so you can
forgive and forgiveness so you can love.
