Is it broken? Sometimes we are all too quick to deem something (or someone) broken when the outcome isn’t what we expected. In many cases it isn’t broken, it is user error because our expectations are what is broken. In our Focus Text, Simon the Pharisee is certain Jesus is ‘broken’ because he does not turn away the woman who is a known sinner. But Jesus shows how Simon’s idea of a working faith, that keeps others at a distance and judges them, is actually separating him from God. A faith that is really working as designed is the woman who draws close to Jesus in gratitude for being seen and loved. When we recognize we are seen and loved in the same way, our working-as-intended-faith shows AGAPe love to all our neighbors!
