" But the one who is forgiven little, loves little." - Jesus when talking to Simon after the woman cleanses his feet.
That was tonights message. It was about the dinner party that Jesus attended and the woman that came and cleansed his feet with her tears and a oil from a jar. See it was custom to do so and Simon the one that invited Jesus in the first place didnt cleanse his feet. Simon was shocked to see the woman there and was telling who are you to hang out with sinners. The woman i n this story has the faith. To get up in front of those religious leaders and do what she did took faith.
Jesus said in the scriptures the quote stated above. That really spoke to me tonight. He told a parable about two people who could not pay a debt. One had 50 Denarii and the other had 100 Denarii, and asked Simon who he beilieved was more forgiven. He said the one with 100 Denarii and Jesus told him that he was right. I used the above quote in a different context: The one who loves more forgives more. I see this : Jesus loved us as human beings more than we can imagine so therefore He is willing to forgive us more and more everytime we fall short. I dont know if anyone else got that out of the message but I did and it is something that I need to look at. Who am I living for right now. i focus on other things.
I am going on a retreat with campus crusade this weekend. We are going to Sophia, NC. I think we are going to be the biggest group there but all that doesnt matter. We all love Jesus. Be praying for us as we travel and while we are there. i believe that God has a plan for me by going. I recived a scholarship so I believe that God is going to do a work in me. Pray for the group that we grow closer together and to the Lord.
One Love \
Matt :)
