                         A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; NEW TESTAMENT STORIES

                                              LOVE POURED OUT PART III 

"I, a sinful woman, had gone to the house of the Pharisee Simon... I knew he had organised a dinner party for Jesus.... Once I entered the house I looked for Him... The moment I spotted Him I walked up behind Him... I could not stop crying... My tears fell on His feet... I realised my tears were washing away the dust on His feet.... No one had offered to wash His feet.... Neither had anyone offered to dry His feet....What could I use to dry them?... I knew.... I could use my hair.... So I loosened my hair.... I then used my long hair to dry them....I could not help but kiss His feet for they were so beautiful to me.... It was then time to open my bottle with the very expensive perfume.... I knew just what I should do with it.... I should pour it over His feet... So I did!".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that a sinful woman has entered the home of the Pharisee Simon where Jesus had gone to for dinner and pours perfume over His feet...

The sinful woman manages to enter the home of the religious leaders and as soon as she spots Jesus at the table, she goes to His seat as we know from Luke7:38

And as she stood behind Him at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

No longer being able to control her deep-felt emotions at the sight of Jesus, the sinful woman begins to weep. Her tears fall on His feet. Not having a towel available to dry His feet with, she loosens her hair and uses them to dry His feet with. No respectablem Jewish woman will ever loosen her hair in public, but this woman is not interested in her personal dignity. All she wants sto do is to show her love to this Man named Jesus. Having dried His feet she knows it is now time to do what she has come to do; she pours the perfume she has brought with her over His feet as an act of worship.
