Living Hope

Luke 7:36-50

[36] One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. 

[37] And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 

[38] and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 

[39] Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 

[40] And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.” 

[41] “A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 

[42] When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 

[43] Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 

[44] Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 

[45] You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 

[46] You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 

[47] Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 

[48] And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 

[49] Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 

[50] And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Passage: PSALMS 100

"1Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

2Serve the Lord with jubilation;

Come before Him with rejoicing.

3Know that the Lord Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4Enter His gates with thanksgiving,

And His courtyards with praise.

Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

5For the Lord is good;

His mercy is everlasting

And His faithfulness is to all generations."

Letter from St. Paul: 2 Corinthians 12: 1-10 KJV 

"It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.

6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
