Two Sinners And The Saviour
Jesse M. Hendley
Luke 7:36-50
(read passage) And she entered into peace, a notorious sinner!
Notice the text we have here, Luke 7: 37. ''A woman in the city which was a sinner.'' Here is a story of actual life. It is a divine story. It is the story of a sinner woman who was forgiven of her sins by the Great Christ of God. It is a deeply moving story---it moves our hearts, as we see one whose life has been blackened, and mind and body defiled, cleansed by the wonderful Saviour! If you have any heart at all, you can scarcely read it without tears. It is a human story. We see sin round about us today, many, many people in the same condition. ''A woman-which was a sinner.''
This is the story of a woman in far off Capernaum, nearly two thousand years ago. But though time moves on, the human race never changes. The human heart is still sinful and wicked, and the Saviour is still the same in His ability to save. This woman WAS a sinner, but she met the Christ of God! Standing between this woman and a society that condemned her and judged her for her sins (for all knew she was a sinner) is the Figure of the CHRIST, Who condemns the sin, but loves and saves the sinner.
Notice first of all the past life of this woman. She was a person of notoriously bad character. The awful word prostitute was the term used by men to describe the evil that she practiced. The Greek word amartolos is used in different instances referring to this ancient sin. When someone was called amartolos it meant a person of bad character, of immoral character. Men have called it the oldest profession in the world. The past life of this woman was one of awful, shameful, evil, lustful, outrageous conduct. TODAY THIS IS BEING GLORIFIED. The older words, of truth about this sin, the fact that it is shameful and awful, are no longer used. TODAY this evil sin is being practiced under their words, nice sounding words, such as ''love ...
