Sinful woman

Character Attitude of Service

1.Pharasees *pride- vs 26
2.Sinful woman
3.Simon

By His question, Jesus was about to showcase a prostitute as an example for a Pharisee to
follow! The fact was, Simon had not really seen that woman. He had not seen that she had
something he needed, namely, a loving, thankful heart toward the Savior. It took a lot of
courage for this woman to seek out Jesus in this gathering that probably included many
Pharisees. She knew that she would have to endure stares, whispers, and muffled laughter
as the men nudged one another. But she wanted openly to express her love for Jesus, and
she was willing to endure public humiliation to do it.

When she learned that He was nearby, she determined to go to Him and express her
deep gratitude for all that He had done for her. At such a dinner, the guests reclined on
couches with their heads toward the table, leaning on their left elbows, with their feet
away from the table. She planned to slip in and anoint His feet with this expensive
perfume as He reclined at the table. But when she got there, she was overcome with
emotion. She could not contain her tears. As she clung to His feet and they became wet
with her tears, she ignored the custom of a woman not letting her hair down in public.
That hair that before she had let down for sinful purposes, she now undid to dry the
Savior’s feet. She was so thankful that she kept kissing His feet. Kissing the feet was a
common mark of deep reverence, especially to leading rabbis (Alfred Plummer, A
Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Luke [Charles Scribners
Sons], p. 211). Finally, she took her bottle of costly perfume and poured it on His feet.
She didn’t care what anyone else thought. She wanted to show her love for Jesus. In
contrast to the cool detachment of the Pharisee, this prostitute had a fervent,
demonstrative love for the Lord Jesus who had done so much for her.
Before we look at the third character of the drama, let me ask: Which of these two
characters most describes your relationship with Jesus? Are you more like the cool, calm,
and collected Pharisee? You’ve got it pretty much together spiritually, so you don’t really
need what Jesus offers, namely, forgiveness of sins. Are you like Simon? Or, like this
woman, do you see that without Jesus, you’d be hopelessly, helplessly lost in your sins?
Like her, are you at liberty to express your deep feelings of love and gratitude for the
Savior, in spite of what people might think? Luke wants us to take an honest look at
ourselves and identify with either the Pharisee or the prostitute. Clearly, the prostitute is
the preferable character here!

1. To love Jesus fervently, you must realize your great debt.

Both parties are in debt. The greater debtor refers to the sinful woman, the lesser debtor
to the Pharisee. But in God’s sight the woman was not necessarily the greater sinner.
Outwardly, as men see things, yes, she was the greater sinner. It is true that sins of the
body are worse than sins of the mind (1 Cor. 6:18-19). But God looks on the heart, not
just on the outward sins. In his heart, the Pharisee was guilty of pride and self-
righteousness, which are serious sins. Also, God judges according to the light that a
person has received. To sin against clear knowledge and an informed conscience is more
serious than to sin in ignorance, although both are sins. God takes into account the
various circumstances that surround a person, such as the person’s upbringing,
environment, and the factors that led the person into the sin. God would judge much
more severely a young person from a godly upbringing who fell into a lifestyle of
immorality than someone from a pagan country who had no knowledge of the gospel. So
we do not know which of the two was the worse sinner in God’s sight.

To love Jesus fervently, realize your great debt and your utter inability to
repay it and trust totally in God’s grace to forgive it.

The more you see your debt and your own inability to repay it, the more you will see how
much the Savior did for you when He took the penalty for your sin on Himself on the
cross. When you see the depths of His great love, you will love Him more and more.

My head with oil - The custom of pouring oil upon the head was universal among the Jews. The oil used
was sweet oil or oil of olives, prepared in such a way as to give an agreeable smell. It was also used to
render the hair more smooth and elegant. See Rth 3:3 ; 2 Samuel 12:20; 2 Samuel 14:2; Psalm 23:5.

With ointment - This “ointment” was a mixture of various aromatics, and was therefore far more costly
and precious than the “oil” commonly used for anointing the head. Her conduct, compared with that of
Simon, was therefore more striking. “He” did not give even the common oil “for his head” used on such
occasions. “She” had applied to “his feet” a far more precious and valuable “unguent.” “He” therefore,
showed comparatively “little” love. “She” showed “much.”

Copyright Statement
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. Anointing was
a mark of honor which was usually bestowed upon distinguished guests (Amos 6:6; Psalms 23:5; Psalms
141:5). To anoint the feet was regarded as extreme luxury (Pliny, Natural History, 13:4). In this third case
Jesus makes a double comparison. To anoint the feet was more honored than to anoint the head, and the
ointment was a more valuable and worthy offering than the mere oil which ordinary courtesy would have
proffered.

Pharisees Definition

The Pharisees formed the largest and most influential religious-political party in New
Testament times. They are consistently depicted in the Gospels as antagonists or
opponents of Jesus Christ and the early Christians.

The name "Pharisee" means "separated one." The Pharisees separated themselves
from society to study and teach the law, but they also separated themselves from the
common people because they considered them religiously unclean.

1. a self-righteous or sanctimonious person

2. a member of an ancient Jewish sect noted for strict obedience to Jewish traditions

source: WordNet 3.0

3. One of a sect or party among the Jews, noted for a strict and formal observance of rites

and ceremonies and of the traditions of the elders, and whose pretensions to superior sanctity

led them to separate themselves from the other Jews.

Luke 7:36-50
King James Version

And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into
36 

the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at
37 

meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and
38 

did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with
the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying,
39 

This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this
is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he
40 

saith, Master, say on.

There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence,
41 

and the other fifty.

And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore,
42 

which of them will love him most?

Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said
43 

unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered
44 

into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet
with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to
45 

kiss my feet.

My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with
46 

ointment.

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much:
47 

but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

48 

And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that
49 

forgiveth sins also?

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Jesus was becoming very popular. And why not? When had there ever been anyone like
Him? He healed every kind of disease, He cast out demons, he made the blind see, the
lame walk, the deaf hear and the dead live again. But as His popularity increased, so did
the opposition against Him. The Jewish religious leaders, the Pharisees, Sadducees and
Scribes or Teachers of the Law had for many years been in the driver’s seat. They were
the arbiters of what was right and wrong. They considered the common people ignorant
rabble. They were very particular about whom they associated with and judged others
the same way.

The Pharisees were a strict religious sect that was based on separation. In fact, that is
the meaning of their name, to separate. There were about 6000 of them spread
throughout the country. They were teachers in the synagogues and appointed
themselves guardians of the proper observance of the law. They added hundreds of rules
to interpret the Mosaic Law in order to attain a legal righteousness. They had great
influence and even the Roman rulers did not want to antagonize them. The major
distinction of the Pharisees was that they gave equal authority to the oral lawCall the
additions to the Mosaic LawCas they gave to the Scriptures. They considered their
tradition as binding as God’s Word, and many times it directly contradicted God’s Word.
We have similar things today. We must always make a distinction between what God’s
Word says and the way it is interpreted and applied by men. That is why it is so
important to check what anyone tells you with the Scripture.

For instance, the Pharisees despised sinners. And they felt that they reflected accurately
God’s attitude towards sinners. By “sinners”, of course, they meant tax collectors,
prostitutes, thieves and murderers. They considered themselves righteous because they
obeyed the hundreds of rules they had made. They actually taught that there is joy
before God “when those who provoke him perish from the world.” In their thinking, God
hated sinners and withdrew Himself from the. Since Christ welcomed sinners and even
ate with them the Pharisees generally concluded He could not be from God.
 Purpose: Not Faith, But Judgment

Keep this in mind as we read about their invitation to dinner from a Pharisee named
Simon.

Luke 7:36
Why did Simon invite Him? Was it because he believed in him? Was it because he
sincerely wanted to observe Him and check Him out? Or was it because he had already
made up his mind and wanted to get more evidence to support his presupposition?

In those days, people did not sit around the table in chairs as we do. They reclined on
couches with their heads near the table and their fee extending away from it. It was
permissible in that day for uninvited guests to come and listen when an important
person was a guest in someone’s home. The needy could also come to receive some of
the leftovers. In that town was a woman, a sinful woman, most likely a prostitute. She
must have heard Jesus speak on previous occasions. Maybe she even witnessed some of
His miracles. In any event, she had believed in Him. When she heard that He was right
there in town at Simon’s house, she wanted to show her love and gratitude and did the
only thing she knew how to do.

o do.

Luke 7:37-38
Can you not imagine the scene? Jesus is eating and conversing at the table. Suddenly he
feels something on His feet. There is a woman, weeping. Her tears are falling on his feet.
She came to anoint Him with an expensive perfume, but before she could even open the
jar, she is overwhelmed with emotion. These are tears that expressed repentance and
gratitude. Then she stoops and in an act of deepest intimacy and humility, she kneels,
takes her unbound hair and wipes his fee. Then she kisses His feet over and over and
pours perfume on them. Jesus, who knew her heart and her motives, calmly stays as he
is and lets her express in her own way her love for Him. He is not embarrassed nor
uncomfortable. He is not annoyed by a crying woman. He accepts us as we are. He
knows our motives. He accepts our worship. He knows just what each of us is offering in
sacrifice to Him. This woman came with an expensive perfume and poured it all out on
Him. The fragrance of her devotion filled the room. No one could miss what was
happening.

Can you not see Simon, the host? He is observing the scene wit icy disapproval. What is
this notorious woman doing in HIS house? And why has Jesus let her do this to Him?
Does not he know what kind of woman she is?

Luke 7:39
You see, this just gave him the evidence he needed to support his foregone conclusion.
His reasoning was that if Jesus were a prophet, He would know what kind of woman
was anointing His feet. If He knew what she was He would not let her do it. Since He did
let her do it He was no true prophet. This of course was based on his presupposition that
God HATES sinners and will not accept them. He did not have to say anything. Jesus
knew what he was thinking and spoke to him.

Luke 7:40-43
Such a simple story. Two debtors. One owed about $50,000 and one owed $5000 by
today’s standards. But neither could pay their debt. Instead of throwing them into
prison, or making them work as slaves to pay it off, the creditor just canceled the debts.
Both of the debtors were now free of obligation and could go on with their lives. But
Jesus’ question was not dealing with the law, but with the heart. Who would love the
most? Simon reluctantly gave the obvious answer. Now Jesus makes a very relevant
application.

Luke 7:44-47
Simon’s polite reception of Jesus into his home had had no warmth of real welcome. His
deficiencies as a host showed what he really though of Jesus. Simon did not consider
himself a sinner, therefore he had no need of forgiveness and consequently felt no love
for Jesus. But what sins does he display in jus this episode?

Pride, hypocrisy, harsh, judgmental attitude, self-righteousness, coldness, lack of

generosity as a host, lack of compassion and unbelief in Jesus Christ. These are just the
sins we see demonstrated HERE! Jesus in no way implied that Simon’s sins were little,
but that Simon did not consider himself in need of forgiveness because he did not
believe he was a sinner.
Simon did what you and I usually do. We compare ourselves with other people whose
sins are blatant and offensive: the prostitute, the homosexual, the thief, the rapist, the
murderer, the pornographer, the drug dealer and of course we come out looking very
good. But that is because we are comparing on a horizontal basis.

If we are walking down Main Street, we would see people who are shorter or taller,
thinner or heavier, younger or older than we are. But if we went to the top of one of
those new buildings and looked down, everyone would look like bugs about the same
size.

When God looks down from heaven, he knows that we are ALL sinners. That is why He
says:

Romans 3:10-12, 22b-23

There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no on who
seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one
who does good, not even one… There is no difference, for ALL have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God. (NIV)

We are sinners by nature. The ways we choose to express that nature differ. But that
gives us no reason to assume that we have a better chance with God because we are not
as bad as other people. In fact, it is often harder for the moral unbeliever to admit that
he is a sinner and must come to God the same way as the worst sinner in the world.

Jesus freely acknowledged that her sins were many. And they were ALL forgiven. Why
were the forgiven? Because she loved Jesus? No, her love was the RESULT of being
forgiven, not the BASIS for forgiveness.
Luke 7:48-50
Then Jesus said to her, Your sins are forgiven. (NIV)

Your immorality, your greed, your impurity, your infidelity, your breaking of all the laws
of God are ALL forgiven. Can you not see the other guest turning to each other and
saying, “Who is this that even forgives sins?” They knew that God alone could forgive
sins. Luke 5:21. But they refused to acknowledge that Jesus was God in spite of all the
miraculous evidence they had seen.
Why was this woman forgiven?
 Your faith has saved you. Go in peace. (NIV)

It is faith alone that saves. Faith in who Jesus Christ is God. And faith in what He has
done died in our place on the cross and rose again.

She believed in the Lord Jesus and she was forgiven and saved from a sordid life which
had no escape hatch. He could say, “Go in peace,” because He not only forgave her many
sins, but gave her a clear conscience as well.

Hebrews 9:14
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself unblemished dot God cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so
that we may serve the living God! (NIV)

I think many of us carry the guilt of past sins which God has forgiven because of our
faith in Jesus Christ. This guilt eats away at our sense of worth and keeps us from
serving God freely. Let us see what God does when we put our faith in Christ, our
Substitute, the Lamb of God who TAKES AWAY the sin of the world.

o OUT OF SIGHT, Is. 38:17.

o OUT OF MIND, Jer. 31:34, Heb. 8:12
o OUT OF REACH, Mic. 7:19; Ps. 103:12
o OUT OF EXISTENCE, Ps. 51:1, 2; Is. 43:25; 44:22
This is what happens to your past sins when you trust Christ. If you have never done
this, I invite you to trust Him as your Savior today. He is God’s gift. The only way o get a
gift is to reach out and take it. That is FAITH.

But how about the sins we BELIEVERS commit each day? Impatience, bad temper,
selfishness, self-pity, disobedience, bitterness, malice, criticism, promotion disunity,
gossip, greed, materialism, bad use of money, impurity or immorality in thought or
deed. How about the person you just cannot forgive? Do you think that a true Christian
does not commit sins like these?

1 John 1:7-10
God has provided a way for us to continue to have close fellowship with Him. Our
relationship is not broken when we sin; we still are His children. But we do not feel
 close. We do not feel like reading our Bible or praying. Even coming to church gets to be
a drag. God wants fellowship with Him restored because he loves us.

“Confess” means to agree with God that what you have done is sin. As long as we keep
calling “sins” mistakes and sicknesses; as long as we keep blaming everything on our
background, on what someone else has done to us, we will never take responsibility for
our own action s and responses. That is why God requires that we agree with Him that
our PROBLEM is sin.

You see, He can forgive sin because the penalty is paid. That is why He is JUST. And He
WILL forgive because He has promised to. That is why He is faithful.

But even when we confess, we often do not FEEL forgiven, do we? That is why I believe
we ought to always tell the Lord.

“With an act of my will I accept your forgiveness. Now you have to handle my emotions.”

Do you have something you cannot seem to forgive yourself for? Does a little voice
inside say to you, “If people ever knew what I did!” Or “How could I ever have done
that?”

Satan is called the “accuser of believers.” He is the one who wants you to be crippled by
guilt, not Jesus. Jesus shed His blood to give you a clear conscience so that you may “go
in peace,” just as He told this woman to. Tell the Lord you accept His forgiveness and
you will never bring that past sin up to Him again because, He has blotted it out from
your record!

What Did Jesus Reveal To Us About God In This Incident?

o That God wants to reach the moral, upright sinner as well as the flagrantly
immoral sinner. He associated with both. He ate with tax collectors and Pharisees.
o That there are no hopeless cases with God. He extends His grace to everyone!
o That God loves and forgives women equally with men.
o There are no second class members of His family.
o That God knows our hearts and motives even when we do not say anything.
o That God will never stay in the box we put Him in.
o That God hates hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
o That God fully forgives ALL our sins and gives us peace.
o That God accepts us individually.
o He accepts our love and worship and the manner in which we express it.
This woman showed her love for the Lord by her weeping, her kissing His feet, and her
anointing them with a precious perfume. She loved much because she had been forgiven
much.

Do We Really Love The Lord Jesus Christ?

How do we show our love? Or do we show it at all? We have all been forgiven much. The
Lord gave His life for us. All he wants from us is that we live for Him day by day.

o do.

Conclusion
Lesson learn from the sinful woman

Be courageous(never mind what do people say”s about you. Focus to Jesus. Kasi pag nagfocus ka sa
sasabihin ng iba baka madistruct ka. Sinful woman ng focus sia sa desire nia na lumapit diay Jesus kasi
alam nia na Siya ang kailangan niya.
