The words of this verse are familiar to most Christians. The sinful woman who anointed Jesus feet with oil, was a well-known sinner . As a matter of fact, she probably knew it more than anyone else.
Jesus told the parable of the creditor, and the two debtors, as an example to the Pharisees. They were more likely to get the meaning of this story, since there self-righteousness blinded them to their own ways.
If we are honest with ourselves, we have varying levels of joy about our salvation. If we live a regular life, don't intentionally do anything bad, in our opinion, we usually don't feel we are much of a sinner. Because we feel that way, we believe Jesus doesn't have much to forgive us for.
On the other hand, someone who is on drugs, or alcohol, maybe abusive to his family, and is in general, a very bad person, has a lot to forgive.
None of us is less a sinner in Jesus eyes, we are all guilty, and He died for all of us. If we look at ourselves through God's eyes, none of us measures up to His standards. All of us should feel the joy of salvation through Jesus, because His unconditional love led Him to die on the cross for all of our sins, regardless of how many, and how bad. No one is beyond God's forgiveness. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior.
Thank You Lord
Amen
