LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 19
JESUS THE FRIEND OF SINNERS
LESSON TEXT Luko 7:37-4S.
GOLDEN TEXT This Is a faithful pay
In, nnd worthy of nil acceptation, that
Christ Jesus camo Into the world to save
sinners. I Tim. 1;1C.
UEEEItENCE MATEtUALr-Luke 15:1
32 "i'llIMAItr TOI'IC-JthUB Loves Every
body. JUNIOR TOPIC-JcBUn tho Friend of
Sinners.
INTEilMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
The Sympathy of Jesuu.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
Jesus Helps the Sinful nnd Sorrowful.
I. A Penitent Woman's Act of Love
(vv. .'17. IS).
1. Place of (v. 37). It was In tho
home of Simon the Phnrlsee while
Jesus was sitting at meat. The feast
must have been public, else she
could not have so readily gained ac
cess. 2. The Act of (v. 38). She washed
Jesus' feet with her tears and wiped
them with her hair. Through some
means she had heard of Jesus' pardon
ing grace, and God had opened her
heart to receive Him as Iter Saviour.
Out of a heart of gratitude she kissed
His feet and anointed them with pre
cious ointment.
3. Who She Was. (v. 37). Her nnmo
is not mentioned. She was of a
notoriously bad character. Though
known to the public as a bad woman,
something had happened which trans
formed her. She was now a saved
sinner, because she believed on Jesus
Christ.
II. The Pharisee's Dlcpleasure (v.
30).
Simon felt scandalized by such a
happening at his table. He was a re
spectable man. For Jesus to toferate
such familiarity on the part of a
woman of such evil repute greatly
perplexed him. He reasoned that If
Jesus were a prophet He would have
known the character of tills woman
and would have either withdrawn
Ills feet from her or thrust her back
with them, or if He knew her charac
ter His tolerance of such familiarity
procd that He was not a good man.
Simon's righteousness was of that
sort which gathers up Its skirts and
gives the sinner a backward push into
Ids filth.
III. Jesus Teaches the Pharisee (vv.
KMS).
He taught him by means of a par
able of n creditor and two debtors.
Observe that Jesus made It very clear
that He not only knew the woman,
but knew Simon nlso.
1. The Common Debt (v. 41). Tho
woman was a sinner, so was Simon,
though he was not the same kind of a
sinner that she was. There were two
debtors, though the one owed ten
times as much as the other. This Is
representative of all sinners still. The
Bible declares all to be sinners, yet
recognizes degrees of guilt. Full cred
it ought to he given to the man who
Is honest, virtuous, generous and
kind. Yet such a life will not secure
entrance into heaven. The Savior's
words are a severe rebuke to the re
spectable Pharisees who are sitting
In Judgment against the sinners of a
coarser type. ,
2. The Common Insolvency (v. 42).
"And when they had nothing to pay"
Jesus freely granted the difference in
the degree of the womnn's sins and
those of the Phnrlsee, but drove home
to him the fact that they wero both
debtors and had nothing with which
to pay (Horn. 3:23). Therefore all
have need of n Saviour. As sinners
we may quit our sinning and hate our
deeds, hut that does not make satis
faction for the sins of the past. What
we have done is irrevocable It has
passed from our reach. Every trans
gression shall lecelvc a Just recom
pense of reward (Heh. 2:2). We must
come to our Creditor, God Almighty,
and acknowledge our Insolvency nnd
accept tho kindness of Jesus Christ
who bore our sins in Ills own body on
the tree (I Pet. 2:24). Wo nro nil
paupers, and Instead of Judging each
other ns to relative guilt, wo should
come to God nnd sue for pardon.
3. The Relation of Forgiveness nnd
Lovo (vv. 44-48. Simon's reluctant
answer to Jesus' question shows that
lie got the point of Jesus' teaching.
In order to mako His teaching con
crete He turned to the woman, call
ing Simon's attention to wiint she Iind
done in contrast to what ho had done.
Simon hnd neglected to extend to
Jesus tho common courtesies of n re
spectable guest, but tills forgiven
woman had lavished upon Him her
affection nnd gifts. The measure of
one's love Is determined by the meas
ure of the apprehension of sins for
given. The one who Is forgiven most
will love most.
Virtue and Vice.
If he does really think that thero
Is nn distinction between virtue and
vice, when he lenves our houses let
us count our spoons. Johnson.
Women and Men.
A hundred men may make an en
campment, but It takes n woman to
make a home. Chinese Proverb.
Blessed Are They.
Blessed aro they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness, for
tlrey shall be filled. Matthew 5 :5.
