WHO LOVES CHRIST JESUS?

Only those forgiven much.
Only those who understand
That they have been brought from Death to LIFE by Christ Jesus.
Listen:

Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him,
So He went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table.

When a woman who had lived a Sinful life in that town
Learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house,
She brought an alabaster jar of perfume [worth a years wages],
And as she stood behind Him at His feet Weeping,
She began to wet His feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair,
Kissing them and poured perfume on them.

When the pharisee who had invited Him saw this, he said to himself,
'If this man were a prophet, He would know who is touching Him
And what kind of woman she is—that she is a Sinner.'

Jesus answered him,
'Simon, I have something to tell you.'

'Two men owed money to a certain moneylender.
One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

Neither of them had the money to pay him back,
So he canceled the debts of both.
NOW WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MORE?'

Simon replied, 'I suppose the one who had the bigger Debt Canceled.'

'You have judged correctly,' Jesus said.

Then He turned toward the woman and said to Simon,
'Do you see this woman?
I came into your house.
You did not give Me any water for My feet,
But she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

You did not give Me a Kiss,
But this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped Kissing My feet.

You did not put oil on My head,
But she has poured perfume on My feet.

Therefore, I tell you, her many Sins have been FORGIVEN--
FOR SHE LOVEED MUCH.
But he who has been forgiven little loves little.'

Then Jesus said to her, 'Your Sins are FORGIVEN.'

The other guests began to say among themselves,
'Who is this who even forgives Sins?'

Jesus said to the woman,
'Your FAITH has Saved you; go in Peace.'
(Luke 7:36-50)

Understand: Simon was a Religious man in the Jewish faith,
But the faith that he had was WORTHLESS
Because it did not enable him to receive Jesus as the Christ of God;
To be willing to lay his life down to obtain the LIFE only Christ can give.
To honor the only One Who could save him from Eternal Death.
He did not think of himself as as Sinner.

How many Christians understand
That they have been brought from Death to LIFE?
How many honor Christ Jesus understanding
That they have been brought from Death to LIFE?
That their Faith alone, put into Action,
Is the only thing that saves them from Eternal Death.

The Sinful woman in the story was COMPELLED
To put her Faith into Action,
And because of this Action, her Sins were FORGIVEN
By the only One Who can Forgive Sin, Christ Jesus.

This woman is a picture of the Bride of Christ.

Be always on the Watch,
And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
