A respected religious man invites Jesus to lunch, and a woman with a public reputation walks in and falls apart at His feet. The room reads her past like a label, but Jesus reads her heart like a story of grace, and that collision exposes something uncomfortable: we can spot other people’s sin with ease while staying blind to our own need for mercy.

This sermon walks through Luke 7:36-50 and the dangerous posture of self-righteousness, the kind that believes it knows God while living as if it doesn’t need God.  Jesus answers Simon’s unspoken thoughts, tells a parable about two debtors who can’t pay, and makes the point plain: grace isn’t fair, but it’s good.
