Seeing Others Through Gods Eyes

Sep 10, 2023    Dr. Phil Willingham

This sermon delves into the story of the woman with the alabaster jar who anointed Jesus' feet. Using Luke 7:37-47 as the foundation, it highlights the critical lesson of looking beyond external appearances, as exemplified by Simon the Pharisee. Simon's judgment was solely based on outward actions, demonstrating a common human tendency to evaluate others from the outside. However, Jesus challenges this perspective by emphasizing the importance of recognizing the depth of a person's heart and their capacity for forgiveness and love. The sermon encourages listeners to cultivate compassion, foster meaningful relationships, and be open to divine interruptions, ultimately reflecting on how their relationship with God impacts their capacity to love others.
