"And when he was behind him at his feet
weeping, he began to water his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of
his head; and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. " Luke
7:38
The Bible tells us that Jesus did not
come into the world to be flattered by "good people": the Lord came
to us to "seek and save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10). For it is
this biblical statement that has most scandalized the religious prisoners of
human rituals and traditions.
The episode narrated by Luke leaves no doubt as
to the thought of Jesus concerning His mission in this world of humble sinners,
side by side with sinners without humility. "When he heard that Jesus was
eating in the house of the Pharisee, a certain woman of the city, a"
sinner ", brought a bottle of alabaster, with perfume ... Weeping, he
began to wet his feet with his tears. Then he wiped them with his hair, and
kissed them, and anointed them with the perfume "(Luke 7:37, 38).
How can we recognize the divine mercy of
Christ, when we stand face to face with Him? Weeping deeply, because of the
insistence of our kind of life, which disrespects the power of divine
forgiveness. Our repentance must lead us to the public expression of our tears.
But by kissing Jesus 'suffering feet, we accept the kind of testimony we are to
give to the world, proclaiming the intensity of His forgiveness and the
rehabilitation that only His Spirit performs in our disciples' lives.
