“Her sins, which are many, are forgiven.” — Luke 7:47
A woman known in the city as a sinner came to where Jesus was. She wept at His feet, washed them with her tears, and anointed them with costly ointment. The Pharisees saw only her guilt—but Jesus saw her faith.
The Lord’s words cut through the judgment of others: “Thy sins are forgiven… thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.”
This is the wonder of the gospel: forgiveness of sins is not earned, but given freely by Christ. Like this woman, every one of us is a sinner. The difference lies only in this: some are forgiven, and some are not. The good news is that you can know your sins forgiven this very day, through faith in the One who died for sinners and rose again.
