“DECISION TIME”… Luke 7:36-50

INTRODUCTION…

Some decisions are difficult; some are easy.

But we all face decisions that have to be made.

Vs. 36… A Pharisee invites Jesus to his house.

Vs. 37… A sinful woman washes Jesus’ feet.

We can learn from the sinful woman…

– Jesus gives us courage.

– We can discern between truth and error.

– Jesus will not turn us away when we sincerely come to Him.

– We need to weep when we come to Jesus.

– We need to be humble.

– We need to give our best to the Lord in worship.

– Only Jesus can truly meet our deepest needs.

Vs. 40… Jesus once again proves He is God.

Vs. 47…”But he who has been forgiven little loves little.”

CONCLUSION…

The Gospel message is clear.

Each one of us has a decision to make…

“Do we have a need for Jesus?”

If we say, “Yes,” this brings forgiveness,

eternal life, abundant life, peace.
