Jesus and the Untouchables

Jun 24, 2018    Matt Santen

In this powerful message from the Road Trip with Jesus series, the story of a sinful woman and a self-righteous Pharisee in Luke 7 becomes a mirror for all of us. As Jesus dines at Simon’s house, an uninvited woman interrupts the meal, pouring out her tears and perfume at Jesus’ feet in a bold act of worship and repentance. While Simon judges her, Jesus sees her—and responds with forgiveness, grace, and honor. Through this moment, we’re asked three questions: Do we recognize the seriousness of our own sin? Are we willing to risk like the woman did? And do we welcome others like Jesus? The message challenges us to stop comparing our sins to others, lay down what we’re holding back, and create a culture of radical grace and hospitality. Because the truth is: those who know they’ve been forgiven much, love much.
