Loving Christ

Scripture Text: Luke 7:36-50

Date: February 1, 2026

AI-Generated Summary: We examine Luke 7:36-50, where a sinful woman anoints Jesus at a Pharisee’s dinner party. Through this story, we learn that genuine Christian love flows from understanding our forgiveness. We’re all spiritual debtors—whether we owe “50 denarii” or “500”—unable to pay what we owe God. Jesus paid our debt on the cross, and when we truly grasp this reality, it awakens extravagant love for Him in our hearts. We love because He first loved us, and our awareness of how much we’ve been forgiven determines how much we love Christ.
