Loose Women & Jesus

When you hear the name Jesus what thoughts run through your head? A man with a halo, a good man, a cross, a church, love, gentleness... It is not often that we associate Jesus with sex workers, loose women, and notorious adulterers.

Yet in Luke 7, we find Jesus not only associating with but being identified with such company. A renowned prostitute takes a daring yet calculated risk as she ignores the accusations and judgments of a town and cares for and works on Jesus' feet. In this drama-filled scene, Jesus risks condoning a sinner and finds himself defending his own reputation all the while protecting a woman who experiences a love so foreign to the lusty demands of men and the fading ecstasies of sex. A love that brings peace instead of brokenness, eternal hope instead of despair. A perfect love that drives out all fear of failure and unmet expectations. A love that accepts instead of condemns. Redeems instead of judges. A love that never fails. A love that only one man has ever truly demonstrated.

Meet the Jesus of the gospels, the man the religious choose to ignore and the "sinners" have yet to meet.
