A Seattle Church

Friend of Sinners


Listen Later

As we continue through the Gospels in the Year of Living Biblically, we're challenged to examine our hearts and our approach to those who don't yet know Jesus in Luke 7:33-50. The story of the sinful woman anointing Jesus' feet serves as a stark contrast between self-righteous religiosity and genuine, transformative faith. We're reminded that Jesus came not for the righteous, but for sinners - and that includes all of us. The parable of the two debtors emphasizes that those who recognize the depth of their forgiveness will love more deeply. This message urges us to see others as Jesus sees them - with compassion and love, rather than judgment. It's a call to become true 'friends of sinners,' just as Jesus was, risking our reputations to reach those who are lost. We're encouraged to pray for the lost, to truly see them with love, and to be bold in offering to pray for others. This teaching invites us to move beyond our comfort zones and self-concern, reminding us that the one who is in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
