Luke 7 example of all scripture - pointing to Jesus. Starts with faith in Jesus (healing of centurion's servant); then glorifying of God (raising of woman's dead son); then witnessing of Jesus as Messiah (discussion with John the Baptist). Then it concludes with Jesus' interaction with a 'sinful' woman in showing who he is and what he is capable of. . . .
* Christians generally know right and wrong: - Woman was known sinner - Why was Jesus allowing fellowship with her
* Christians often don't allow theological correction lead them to loving Jesus: - how do we "greet" Jesus (how did woman)? - do we recognize our own sin before God - do we value Jesus' forgiveness - do we seek encounter with God/Jesus or do we seek to show our theological rightness
CONCLUSION: All religion, theology, Christian practice should lead to loving Jesus more and glorifying God. We must be careful to not allow head knowledge be the end of biblical study but that we have the heart of the forgiven woman who recognized Jesus as Savior to be worshiped.
