“Do you understand forgiveness?Let me tell you a story…” (Lk 7:36-43)

Why did the woman do what she did to Jesus?

“You forgave me even before You said it…”

(Lk 7:37,38, 44-46)

OBJECTIFICATION: It’s all around us

“I see you” (Lk 7:44)

What does forgiveness really mean?

“Her many sins have been forgiven—for she loved much.  But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

(Lk 7:47-50)
