SHOWN SUCH GREAT LOVE

PRAYER MOMENT  


Thursday 17 September 2015


SHOWN SUCH GREAT LOVE


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “I tell you her sins, her many sins,, must have been forgiven her or she would not have shown such great love.” (Luke 7:36-50)


Reflection. The woman who causes such a scene in Luke chapter 7 has experienced a deep change in herself and she cannot restrain her love and joy. She pours out tears over the feet of Jesus. Simon, the host, and no doubt all his guests, are embarrassed by the display. The incident captures in a moment the whole ministry of Jesus; to heal people of their deepest pain and share with them the joy of the gospel. The woman sums up humanity redeemed.


Prayer. Lord, as we contemplate the change you brought about in this woman, open our hearts to the joy you offer through the forgiveness of our sins.  Amen.
