The importance of hospitality shouldn't be understated. In Jesus' time, it was a cultural no-no to treat guests in your house badly, and yet that seems to be how Jesus was treated. Enter the penitent woman who makes an extravagant gesture, then humbles herself completely. Of course, we cannot always wipe our guests' feet with our hair, but we can certainly mirror the humility of the woman with the perfume instead of the carelessness of the host, Simon. To do so is to live in the Kingdom.
