Luke chapter 7

verses

Jesus says a certain money lender had two debtors, one owed 500

Denari and the other 50. When they could not pay, he canceled the debt of both.

Now which one of them will love him more?

Simon answered, the one I suppose for whom he canceled the larger debt.

And he said to him, you have judged rightly.

her tears, wipe them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet,

anointed them with ointment, and this is a woman who had a reputation for being a sinner and Jesus looks at Simon and tells him this story to illustrate this reality that when we have been forgiven much we will love much and

worship much and show much gratitude and

Thanksgiving and awe and so I ask you the question, wherever you are right now, how much have you been forgiven?

Jesus we praise you for the cross. We praise you for taking the

payment of all our sins upon yourself. Jesus, thank you, thank you, thank you. We bow at your feet now in

worship in awe and gratitude. We glorify your name, the savior of our souls,
