Seeing Past Yourself | Rev. Wil Cantrell

You are the only person who can’t directly see yourself. Yet, so often we go through life without really seeing others because we can only see the needs of ourselves. This was true of Simon, the pharisee, who didn’t respect the needs to a women who came to bless Jesus. It was also true of the culture of ancient Israel where the needs of women were often minimized and overlooked. Sadly, in our culture, we still minimize the needs of other who aren’t like us. Jesus challenges us to see the not only the needs but also the dignity, sacred worth, and potential in each person.

Scripture - Luke 7:36-50
