This is the reading from Luke 7 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In Luke 7, Jesus reveals His compassion, power, and authority. He heals, raises the dead, and forgives sins, affirming His identity as the Messiah. His reassurance to John the Baptist reminds us to trust God’s plan even in uncertain times. The sinful woman’s story shows that faith in Jesus transforms hearts and leads to love and worship. This Advent, may we open our hearts to His grace, trusting Him as our Savior and Redeemer.
