06-16-13 The Freedoms of Forgiveness

Rev. Richard Koehneke

 

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me

 

Luke 7:37-38,47

When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume, and as she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven — for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”
