Andrew Boone: Luke 7:36–50

Many thanks to Andrew Boone for leading us through Luke 7:36–50 last night.

That particular passage inspired a very important notion for me:

No human being has been forgiven any more or any less than any other human being.

This is a key thought for me. When Jesus says that “he who has been forgiven little loves little” (v. 47), I must realize that this should not apply to me or to anyone for that matter. None of us have “been forgiven little.” We are all gigantic sinners in our own way; we all struggle.

I appreciated everyone’s willingness to think and talk about this particular idea. I know that for me it was one of those “ah-ha” moments — an epiphany.

We have a couple of weeks off before we plunge back into Genesis. Finally, after all of the hullabaloo, we are going to see Abraham and Sarah’s child: Isaac. Please read Genesis 21 in preparation for that.

God bless!
