Luke’s Gospel ch7 vs36 – 50.
Simon was a Pharisee - highly religious outwardly, but just
as sinful on the inside as anyone.
He sought to criticise The Lord Jesus Christ for eating with
a sinner.
The woman indeed had a sinful lifestyle, but the Pharisee wanted
to make out that had Jesus Christ been a prophet He “would have known this” and
had a very different attitude towards her.
However, as with the Samaritan woman at the well, He already
knew everything there was to know about
this woman’s life!
Furthermore, The Lord Jesus Christ prior to this event, had
completely proved Himself by many deeds and wonders!
This woman had a burden of sin. Guilt was breaking her
heart, her conscience deeply troubling her.
We too have a conscience, and each of our lives are
accountable to Him.
She was showing remorse and repenting of her sin to Jesus
Christ.
Reader, some of us may think we are better than others, but
we are ALL sinners!
There is only one way to God in Heaven, one way to have your
sins forgiven, one way to make and have peace with God, and one way to have an
eternal home in Heaven … through His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me”.
- John’s Gospel ch14 vs6.
This most wonderful Man left Heaven’s glory, took on flesh
by being born of a virgin, becoming our Emmanuel (God with us).
He grew up in perfect holiness and healed all manner of sick
and diseased people.
He raised the dead back to life!
Only Jesus Christ Son of God could do these miracles … He IS
God!
He is eternal, always was and always will be!
In His great love for us all, He came to save us from the
eternal penalty of our sins against Holy God –
that most awful place called Hell.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace”.
- Isaiah ch9 vs6.
Jesus Christ came to save the lost – you and I!.
“ … I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance”.
- Matthew’s Gospel ch9 vs13(b).
Jesus Christ was ever sinless – He is God in the flesh! –
holy and pure, and was the only one who was able to become a sacrifice for all our
sins.
On the Cross at Calvary , He
suffered great agonies, was mocked, abused, and scoffed at. Yet, He had done
nothing wrong at all. He voluntarily laid down His life, shedding His blood to
make atonement for all our sins.
Darkness covered the whole Earth for three hours, when Jesus
Christ was made sin for us.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him”.
- 2nd Corinthians ch5 vs21.
“It is finished”. – Jesus Christ’s final words before He
bowed His head and delivered up His spirit. A cry of victory! The price of our
sins had been paid in full through His own sinless body and spotless blood.
“ … for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul”
- Leviticus ch17 vs 11.
Jesus Christ gave all that love could give and was
victorious over death and sin!
A most wonderful Saviour – the only Saviour of sinners!
Dear friend, He is willing and able to save you this day. He
gave that life and blood just for you too!
Please realise that your sin is your greatest problem –
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.
- Romans ch6 vs23.
Hell is real, and Holy God must punish all unforgiven sins.
“And it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
the judgement: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto
them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto
salvation”.
- Hebrews ch9 vs27 -28.
God wants nothing other than for you to be in Heaven with
Him, and earnestly asks that you would accept the provided Saviour, Jesus
Christ. Simply come to Him in faith this day, repenting of your sinful life
like the woman we have been reading about.
These are simple clear truths, not to be rejected!
“ … him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out”
- John’s Gospel ch6 vs37(b).
The woman’s sins of a lifetime were all forgiven and gone in
a second – and so can yours!
Jesus Christ alone can bring you joy, peace and
assurance that you never knew!
“Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace” (vs50).
