The story of Jesus with the sinful woman found in Luke 7 teaches us a powerful lesson in love and service. As Jesus dined at the home of Simon the Pharisee, a woman entered uninvited and washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, dried them with her hair, and anointed them with oil mixed with perfume in an alabaster jar. This display did not go unnoticed by the Pharisee. He criticized Jesus for letting a woman touch him in this manner.

Jesus responds by giving the parable of the two debtors who had both been forgiven of their debts. He points out to Simon that he has done nothing to show hospitality to him as his guest, but this woman has offered it in abundance. This video explores how Simon treated both Jesus and the woman—he criticized them both. We should follow the example of this woman and show our gratitude and love for the Savior, and remember that we all have a seat at the Lord’s table.

*The video describes the container as an alabaster box, which is an error on our part as that actually is only mentioned in Matthew 26:7 for likely a different anointing story. Often the stories are combined into one story, and because of the many similarities, we incorrectly mixed the two stories.
