The sinful woman, tears for Jesus.

in steemchurch •  6 years ago  (edited)

I want today to tell the story of a woman who had been ministered by Jesus. She had genuinely repented, her heart was full of gratitude and love for Christ.

That is why her eyes began to change and what was seen in her was:
Tears for Jesus. Everyone knew her as a sinful woman, but her selfless demonstration of unreserved worship changed the way everyone remembers her now. Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of a man known as Simon the leper. "Then a woman of the city, who was a sinner, knowing that Jesus was at the table in the house of the Pharisee, brought a bottle of alabaster with perfume, and being behind him, crying, began to water with tears. and he hath mopped them with his hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with perfume "(Luke 7: 37-38).

Can you imagine the depth of that woman's crying? - And that her tears were enough to cleanse the dusty feet of Jesus! - Imagine the gratitude that she had, that made her demonstrate with such courage her devotion and adoration to the man who was sitting at the table.
I had heard him speak of the Kingdom of heaven, he had understood the heart of the Lord, he saw the miracles he did, and he freed himself from his old way of life because he accepted it with affection.
With tears that flowed from a sobbing heart, I wash the tired feet of the lord and wipe them with the strands of his hair. Then I perfume his feet with oil from his alabaster vessel, valued at one year's salary.

Wow... what an expression of love, of this woman, for her lord! - perhaps how much it cost her to collect that salary, which was valued after a year of work- There were no limits to the love she felt for Jesus, when others they disapproved of his extravagance, Jesus spoke to them firmly (lucas 7; 43-47). Oh, to have the opportunity to kiss the beautiful feet of Jesus...

Genuine tears, with humility and pain for having sinned, move Jesus, crying at his feet is the most sublime act of adoration that a mortal can have; they are an expression of humility and recognition of our condition and need of Him.

very good reflection apostol @ darlenys01, our lord jesus, read the thought of all humans, and this sinner was not the ecepcion, because it showed that He loved her, against all, and even though she was a sinner, her repentance and humility took her to find salvation, peace and hope.

The tears of this woman, touch the heart of Jesus, definitely the only thing we need is to recognize that only Jesus can cleanse, save and heal us.
Good post @ darlenys01.

Jesus Christ always awaits us, always awaits our return, because He loves us, but He expects us to come to Him, with a repentant, humbled and faith-filled heart.
Jesus Christ is our hope and salvation. He deserves all sacrifice, because the elder and He did it on the cross of Calvary.
Thank you apostol @darlenys, for this teaching. God bless you!!

This scene shows us the great mercy of God for sinners.
the mercy of God is born of our frailty, of our humility to recognize errors and sins, of our human condition, and above all, of his love.
A repentant and humble heart does not reject our God. He is worthy of all glory and honor !!

Excellent teaching @ darlenys01. There are people who mourn for anything, but crying at the feet of Jesus is priceless, this sinner when the world judged her, she wept at the feet of Jesus and received comfort, peace and salvation.
Our God is infinitely powerful, glorious, majestic ... that's why I love you, God of my heart!

To enjoy the Biblical teachings through your preachings apostle darlenys01, it is very pleasing for me, thank you for always reminding us that our eternal Father, is there to help us, when we come to his presence with humility and repentance. Giving Jesus the best of our lives is a sublime act. Blessings!

How many times have we feel remorse for an act.... As Christians what we need to learn from this message is to into prayers when we sin against the Almighty and he too is faithful and just to forgive us. Greetings dear sister.

It's one of the most moving episodes I've read in the Bible, Sister Darlenys.

God is always compassionate to as many that diligently repent from their heart and take steps to live a righteous life that is worthy of His kingdom.

The woman in this context shows how important her salvation is and she shows this by engaging her hair to clean the feet of Christ.

God forgives us and cleanses us from all sin

He is the lamb who forgives and takes away all sins

When we dare to shed our tears in the presence of the Lord, He can respond with great miracles; This scene shows us that our Lord does not accept people when they come to Him with sincerity and humility.
Beautiful message @ darlenys01, thank you for your daily teachings, I sincerely enjoy each one of them- Blessings!

beautiful story I like, because you appreciate the love of God for his creation, he does not look at our past or what we did but the repentant heart that we bring surrendered to his feet, how great is the love of God, thank you for sharing this message dear apostol @darlenys01 God bless you in a great way

Divine mercy imposes a path to the sinful woman, says "go in peace" is how Jesus receives us when we go to him, recognizing him as the only true God. Only in Jesus do we find true peace, and eternal life, if He did not judge her, no one else could.
Good teaching @ darlenys01.

She poured out her whole being at the feet of Christ, shed all her anguish, all her burden on the Lord ... So we must do, pour out all our being and our burdens on God, because only He can give us forgiveness and peace what our soul needs!

There is a song of Miel san marcos with christine d'clario, it is called "A TUS PIES" is beautiful!

God is good and merciful, yesterday, today and always. Nice message.

certainly to come to Jesus it is necessary to have faith, Jesus himself told the sinful woman: - "your faith has saved you, go in peace". Thank you apostol, for this teaching, because you remind me that Jesus does not see appearances, but the heart.

God is always willing to forgive, to forget, to renew ... whenever we come to him with a repentant and humiliated heart, the scene of this sinful woman shows us the mercy of God.
Thanks @ darlenys01, for your teachings. God bless you!!

Holy pedicures Batman.

Excellent reflection @ darlenys01, certainly the verification of our miseries, sometimes reiterated, should never become distrust of God. Because it is to our GOD that we must ask him for his divine and saving grace to be redeemed from our sins. The sinful woman is an example of God's love for all of us.

The scene of the sinful woman shows us the great love and mercy that God has for us. He is always willing to forgive us without looking at the condition in which we are, only what he wants is that we come to him, with a humiliated, repentant and sincere heart.
Good reflection apostle darlenys01

As Jesus said "this woman will always be remembered ". And we remember her right now on Steemit.

Beautiful story and very good apostolic teaching @darlenys01
