Even thou this woman had commited so many sins. What she did for Jesus by weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. Jesus forgave this woman because of her faith. Because he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." Amen!

I believe that she saw all the beautiful miracles and works of Jesus that she immediately felt sorry for her sins but didn't know how else to ask forgiveness of the Savior, so she tried her best by washing & drying His feet with her tears & hair, then anointed them with perfume. Thus realizing that this little act led to the forgiveness of all her sins. By: Mirtha Fabro - October 13, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman

The least worthy to receive Gods forgiveness so huge the burden of her past. But Gods mercy is endless and she is relieved of this unbearable weight on her soul. The greater the debt, the deeper the gratitude. It is like when we underestimate health and forget what being truly ill is. We may complain about a sore throat and think its unbearable and forget what something truly serious like a tumor lets say could be. She knew how ill she was (her tattered and wounded more dangerously than her body soul) and all the more feels the healing touch of Jesus. The darker the clouds the clearer the sky after Gods might blow so to say. Or whiter the dove. :) By: Alessandra Parrini - October 04, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman

The woman was humble at the same time she wet the feet of Jesus with her tears. The woman attended to Jesus need by anointing Him with the oiltment. Even though the sins of the woman were many, Jesus forgave her for she loved Jesus so much. The woman's faith made her well and she went in peace.

a sinful person when forgiven would appreciate the gift of forgiveness more than a person who thinks he is not a sinner.the sinful person when forgiven would be willing to love more give more and act righteously more from the bottom of his/her life, because once the burden of sin is lifted from him , he would fight real hard not to slip back into that misery.and this is the power of forgiveness.but the important thing is for us to recognise that we are sinners, and ask to be forgiven sincerely By: Annie Goetcheryan - May 16, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
One of the Pharisees
invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee's house, and sat
at the table. Behold, a
woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in
the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of ointment. Standing behind at his feet
weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with
the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment. Now when the
Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "This man,
if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this
is who touches him, that she is a sinner."
Jesus answered him,
"Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
"A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five
hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they couldn't pay, he
forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?" Simon answered,
"He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most."
He said to him, "You have judged
correctly." Turning to the woman, he said to
Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered into your
house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with
her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but she,
since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet. You didn't anoint my head with
oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins,
which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is
forgiven, the same loves little." He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." Those who sat at the
table with him began to say to themselves, "Who is this who even
forgives sins?"
He said to the woman,
"Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
