The Lord asked Simon the Pharisee, "Do you see this woman?" You gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in. You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven` (Luke 7:44-47).

Who is this woman? 

She was the notorious sinner and a shameful person in the village. Our Lord saved such a person who could not help but go to hell for their sins, a person who could not but be cursed. That is why this woman washed the feet of Jesus with her tears, kissed His feet, and washed the feet of Jesus Christ with her hair. This woman believed in Jesus Christ with her whole heart and lived the life of serving the Lord. She believed this clear Truth that our Lord took upon Himself all the sins that numbered more than her own hairs of her head when He was baptized by John in the Jordan River. This woman believed with firm conviction that Jesus Christ was her Savior. That is why the Lord told Simon the Pharisee look at this woman. The Lord was saying that we must believe in God like this woman when we believe in Jesus Christ. 

That is why the Lord showed this woman to us. This woman was an example of salvation, and faith. The Lord took all her sins upon Himself perfectly at His baptism and atoned them all on the Cross. Visit www.bjnewlife.org FREE BOOKS
