Luke 7:36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, 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.
A woman of the city, that explains so much. She comes with a lot of baggage; she has seen all the world at its worst. Her life has been hard, she has made poor decisions. Enough to pull her into the presence of Jesus.
She may be a stripper, an addict, a porn star. It doesn’t matter, she is a sinner, and scripture does not elaborate beyond this. All we know is she is ‘a woman of the city,” and that she is referred to as “a sinner.” The sin has made her a desperate person. She steps forward, and does not care about what the crowds are saying about her. She has heard it all before. She comes with her flawed and inadequate heart, to anoint him with an ointment that is somewhat susceptible because of her past.
She pushes forward, pressing past the inner ring of disciples who are ‘protecting’ Jesus. She takes what she has, and pours it on Jesus’ feet. It is a concentrate of a perfume that is intense, and very much a declaration of what her heart is wants to do. The scent of this ointment undoubtedly very strong, and lingers, being a concentrate. It probably comforted Jesus while he was being nailed to the cross. He would remember what she had done to him. Her love would comfort him as he was dying.
Jesus acknowledges her decision to bless him in this unique way. She pushes to him with a single mindedness that we can only marvel at. She falls at his feet, and Jesus allows himself to be touched by a women that has such a difficult and dark past. I truly believe He takes everyone whoever comes to him. He passes no judgement on her, and people who are like her— like me.
He has no issues, and accepts all who the Father brings to him.
This sinful woman has shown the way for sinners like us to connect. Her action establishes for us a precedent— a sure way to advance into his presence. We start by admitting that we are in a very desperate state. Her example focuses everyone to all what is truly important, and we dare not slip past her example. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We know that this is true.
We must come, as she has come, in faith that only He can forgive us. We should come with a radically intense intention to be with him. There must be a real decision (on our part) to follow after him. When we actually fall at his feet, we will find ourselves to be completely forgiven.
Luke 7: 47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
