‘We All Need Faith.’
Hebrews 11:6.
a) Without Faith no one can please God.
b) The person who comes to God must believe that
He exists.
c) The person who comes to God must believe that
He is One Who rewards those who seek after Him.
(This QT reminds me that I Need Faith)
‘Faith And Love Expressed.’
Luke 7:36-50.
a) Luke 7:36. Simon the Pharisee welcomed Jesus
as a guest for a meal.
b) Luke 7:37. A sinful woman knew that Jesus was
there in the Pharisee’s house. She brought an alabaster flask of perfumed oil.
c) Luke 7:38. Standing
behind at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and
wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them
with the ointment.
d) Luke 7:39. The
Pharisee spoke to himself about Jesus because he thought that, if Jesus was a
prophet, He would reject the sinful woman.
e) Luke 7:40. Jesus knew
what Simon was thinking and He spoke out. Then Simon asked Him to continue His
conversation.
f)
Luke 7:41-42. Jesus told Simon a story about
Forgiveness and Love.
g) Luke 7:43. Simon fully
understood the story.
h) Luke 7:44-46. Jesus
lovingly affirmed what the sinful woman had done to Him.
i)
Luke 7:47-48. Jesus forgave the sinful woman
her sins.
j)
Luke 7:49. The other guests who sat at Simon’s
table began to accuse Jesus about His forgiving the sinful woman’s sins.
k) Luke 7:50. Jesus
ignored the accusers and told the sinful woman that her Faith had Saved her and
she was to go in Peace.
(Through this Second one I see Faith And Love
Expressed)
Chris.
The perfumed oil with which the sinful woman anointed the
feet of Jesus was very valuable and precious. It was probably the most costly
thing that she owned such was her love for the Lord. Jesus did not reject this
as being a waste, He received it as her Love and Worship. We should give our
best and do our best for the Lord.
