Luke 7:36-50

At the house of Simon the Pharisee

About the next group of questions

Jesus came to help people who know that they have done wrong. In this passage, we read about that. Jesus also came to show people how God can forgive their sin. But some people are too proud to agree that they have a need. Even Jesus cannot help people who are like that.

Pray

Ask God to help you to understand and to learn from today’s study.

Final remarks

Jesus wants us to love him. When God forgives those who have done wrong things, they should love him more. They know now how much he loves them. That is why they should love him. When we trust him, he forgives us. And he causes us to have peace.

Pray

Thank you Jesus that you love me. Thank you that you forgive my sins. I love you and I want to love you more and more. Help me to tell other people about your great love for them too. Amen.
