Simon the Pharisee! The End of a New Beginning!
Simon the Pharisee! The End of a New Beginning!

Simon! Simon!
You Have Missed the Plot!
Your Prejudice Has Plundered Your Path!
Your Pride Has Blinded Your Heart!
You Have Hidden Your Sins in Hypocrisy!
You Shall Find Life, If You Confess it!
You Gave No Water to Wash MY Feet!
Yet, the WOMAN whom You Judged Had Washed MY Feet in Tears!
You Didn't Greet ME with a Kiss!
But, From the Beginning She Has Not Stopped Kissing MY Feet!
You Neglected the Courtesy of Olive Oil as Our Custom Stands!
Yet, She Has Anointed MY Feet with Rare Perfume!
Her MANY SINS are Forgiven, Simon!
For She Has Been Found in RIGHT Standing with GOD!
She Has Confessed Her Sins by Her Actions!
She Has Sought the TRUTH and Found it!
Simon! Simon!
This is Just an End of a New Beginning!
Shalom,
Samuel Machado
JESUS LOVES YOU THE WAY YOU ARE!

Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat.[a] 37 When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. 38 Then she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping. Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing his feet and putting perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”
40 Then Jesus answered his thoughts. “Simon,” he said to the Pharisee, “I have something to say to you.”
“Go ahead, Teacher,” Simon replied.
41 Then Jesus told him this story: “A man loaned money to two people—500 pieces of silver[b] to one and 50 pieces to the other. 42 But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?”
43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.”
“That’s right,” Jesus said. 44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume.
47 “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” 48 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The men at the table said among themselves, “Who is this man, that he goes around forgiving sins?”
50 And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
