Sermon excerpt:
What if Jesus is actually talking about debt in terms of feeling the burden of how much one’s sins weigh? What if instead of the total number of sins, the one whose debt is larger means she is the one who is more acutely aware of her sin and the heaviness of the separation from God that comes with it?
And because she is more acutely aware of the weight of hers in and her separation from God … her response to Jesus’ forgiveness is that much greater and grateful-er than Simon, who is quick to judge both Jesus and the woman, and who seems to think he is almost without need of both forgiveness and forgiving others.
