Then He said to her, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace” Luke 7:50
We’ve been looking at the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet in Luke 7. “Go in peace.” Jesus said to her. What healing power can be found in those three words. And she did. The unwelcome party crasher experienced real peace. Redemptive peace. For the first time in her difficult life she was free, clean, and forgiven. The peace that “passes all understanding” was hers. No more condemnation and no more shame. No more seeking human approval . . . she had Jesus’ approval. How many of us can say the same?
We’ve been looking at a very intimate picture of worship provided to us in Luke 7 of a woman who came and anointed Jesus’ feet.
