Luke 7:36-50

This story from the Gospel of Luke uses the setting of a dinner party at the home of Simon the Pharisee to illustrate a clear contrast between those who truly love Jesus and those who don’t.  Jesus’ short parable reveals what it is that fills our hearts with eternal gratitude.

• Our gratitude is based on an acknowledgement of debt.
• Our gratitude is based on the realization that we are unable to pay.
• Our gratitude is grounded in our faith in a loving God who accepts us, forgives us, transforms us, and offers His eternal salvation to us—because He loves us!

Jesus is The Messiah Worthy of Our Gratitude!
