Meditate On
Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are
many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the
same loves little.
Luke 7:47
The
Secret To Loving Jesus Much
Remember the story of the woman who washed
Jesus’ feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and anointed them with
fragrant oil? Jesus pointed out to the Pharisee in whose house she did this
that this woman loved Him much because she knew that she was forgiven much.
In actuality, none of us have been forgiven
little. We have all been forgiven much. As for this woman, she knew it. Do you?
Beloved, if you think that you have been
forgiven little, then you will love little. But when you know the truth of how
much you have been forgiven, you will love Jesus much. Knowing how much you
have been forgiven is the secret to loving Jesus! In other words, you will only
love Jesus much when you experience His lavish grace and unmerited favor in
forgiving you of all your sins—past, present and future—by His one sacrifice at
the cross.
So don’t worry about loving Jesus. Just
meditate on how totally and completely He has forgiven you, and loving Him much
will be your natural response!
