When Jesus accepted the dinner invitation to Simon the Pharisee's house, I wonder if he had any idea how the evening would pan out? I am sure that Simon definitely didn't imagine how the meal would end up.
If you would like to read the full story, then please follow in Luke 6:36-50. In summary, a sinful woman interrupts the dinner to weep over Jesus and to anoint his feet with expensive perfume. In modern times, this incident would have caused such a stir that people would have posted videos of her actions all over the internet. Simon is stunned, but Jesus sees into the broken heart of the woman and forgives her sins.
When Matthew Henry reflected on this passage he wrote - "None can truly perceive how precious Christ is, and the glory of the gospel, except the broken-hearted."
He implies that when are hearts are broken and stepped upon, the compassion of Jesus is precious beyond measure. He is all we need.
