Who Loves The God Most


Who loves the God most?

Luke 7:36-50 clearly says the condition of human race towards there love to God.

Here we can see two characters
  1. Sinner Woman
  2. Pharisees (Simon)
Jesus enters Simon's home and reclined at table. The sinner women heard about christ and came to Simon's house. Her intention was to be saved (verse 50 says : But He said to the woman, Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.). When she was in the presence of the lord, started weeping and began to wet his legs with tears and washed with hairs and anointed his feet with ointment and did not stop kissing his feet.
Now Simon knows that this women is a sinner, and said within himself if he is a prophet would know about her.

Lord was wise and asked the pharisee

"41 A certain moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii and the other fifty.
42 But since they had nothing with which to repay, he graciously forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him more?"


Simon said the one with five hundred denarii, I would also say the same.

Here the lord clearly says that
 
47 For this reason I say to you, Her sins which are many are forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.

Do we Agree? If yes in what fact do we Agree?

The Lord gives the result:

Sinner woman(She) :
  • Washed the leg with tears and hair
  • Anointed his feet with ointment
  • Did not stop kissing
Simon the pharisee(he):
  • Did not wash the leg
  • Did not anoint his head with oil
  • Did not kiss and invite
and hence the lord clearly says :
  1. Love the lord much many will be forgiven, and they too love the lord much aftermath...
  2. Little forgiven Loves little.. we need to love the lord much to be thoroughly forgiven..
Also need to know that Washing the feet is servanthood.. she was serving the lord so lowly as a servant.
The one who loves the lord serves the lord like this. The little forgiven sinner just ate with him.

Dear Gods children today we need to be like this women loving and serving the lord much.
we should be aware that we should not be like Simon who just invited the lord for food... 
We should not be a  sake and rituals christian.
