Go Tell It Even If It Costs You
Luke 7:36-50
When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the
Pharisee’ s house and reclined at the table. A woman in that town who lived a sinful
life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’ s house, so she came there with an
alabaster jar of perfume. As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to
wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured
perfume on them. When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself,
“If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she
is—that she is a sinner.”
Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
“Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I
came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet
with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this
woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put
oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her
many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been
forgiven little loves little.”
Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Mark 12:41–44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
3. When you take risks with Jesus, he covers the shortcomings.
