TOPIC: THE OFFERING OF A REMORSEFUL SINNER
BIBLE TEXT: “And behold a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment – Luke 7 vs 37.
The ministry of Christ Jesus is a one of reconciliation and love to all sinners and saints. This particular sinful woman was well known through out the city for she had many friends in pleasure and sin. Right there in the city, salvation came to town and the Word through evangelism got to her palace and she prepared herself to meet this Jesus Christ who is called the Son of God, to surrender the most valuable thing she ever had and what led her into sin.
She chased money and wealth and got it, but had no peace and salvation. So she took an alabaster box of expensive oil and her body as a living sacrifice unto the Lord Jesus and He accepted her into God's kingdom and within a twinkle of an eye, all her sins, mistakes and past lifestyle were forgiven because she had faith in God to offer herself.
Before, she offered men herself (her body) and they misused her life, but now Christ fixed all, and healed her completely. She stood at Christ's feet and washed his feet (and cried when she encountered the Word of God because of the truth) and used her hair to wipe his feet and kissed the feet as a sign of love, respect and remorse.
Many called her a sinner but did nothing than remind her of the state of sin, but Jesus turned her life around. He’s ready to listen to your sinful stories to give you a new beginning – 2 Corinthians 5 vs 17
Prayer: Lord I repent from all my sinful ways, please cleanse me and forgive all my sinful ways in Jesus name.
Insight: Run to Jesus Christ, He will never reject nor condemn you.
