Sermon - Luke 7.36-8.3

One impact that such understanding can have is to insure that the invited guest lists at our dinner parties do not show us to be labelers! Our guest lists at this table of welcome should never show us to be condescending, prejudiced or self-righteous. In our social circles, organizations and church communities there can be no exclusive circles, only inclusive ones. There is no one to whom we can condescend. If we know that with all our shortcomings and failures God’s extravagant love is great enough to accept even us, then we also know that somewhere very close to us there are feet waiting to be washed!
