Jesus said to the woman,
"Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
(Luke 7:50)
All four gospels tell the story of a sinful woman who washed Jesus’ feet with her tears, wiped His feet with her hair, and anointed His feet with expensive perfume.
Jesus knew that othe rs whispered about the way He allowed this woman to honor Him.
He did not deny her past. Instead, He acknowledged that the woman’s present actions revealed her love for Jesus and her faith in Him. Jesus used that moment to teach how the condition of the heart saves or condemns us … not what we’ve done. Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Anyone who faces an unplanned pregnancy can put their faith in Jesus’ unconditional acceptance and hear those same words: “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Merciful Father,
So many women who face an unplanned pregnancy experience self-recrimination and condemnation. Reveal Your unconditional love to them. Help them experience Your acceptance and go in peace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
