Kuvaus

When that sinful woman emptied her jar on Jesus’ feet, she embodied the true worship that He had come to find (John 4:23-24). To worship Him rightly, though, she needed to come to grips with the truth about herself. The Gospel is only Good News to those who’ve reckoned with the bad news of sin and death. The true beauty of Jesus is only visible to those who have seen the ugliness of their rebellion against God. Unlike Simon, the woman in this story knew she was unworthy to come into Jesus’ presence. Even so, Jesus didn’t just receive her gift; He affirmed it as an act of worship more precious to Him than whatever Simon may have laid out on his table. The same is true for us. In ourselves, we are unworthy to set foot in God’s throne room. Yet, in and through Christ, we’re invited to step boldly into the presence of our heavenly Father.
