In part 1 today, Pastor Steve Carpenter begins an in-depth exploration of Jesus’ Parable of Two Debtors from Luke 7:36–50.
In this parable an immoral woman comes center stage as a perfect picture of both forgiveness and repentance as Jesus schools a self-righteous Pharisee on such matters.
In the process, this (formally) immoral woman beautifully bestows the honor and courtesies rightfully due Jesus, but which had been shamefully withheld by his Pharisaic host.
Simon, the self-righteous Pharisee, would do well to follow the lead of this “immoral” woman!
But wait! There’s more! Come back next week to see how Jesus puts this woman on a high pedestal for all to see, and for His shocking conclusion to this stunning drama.
