The Two Debtors
Lukas 7:36–50forgivenesslovemercy
Two debtors are forgiven — one a great debt, one small; Yeshua asks Shimon which loved more, and applies it to the woman weeping at His feet.
The woman knew the size of what she had been forgiven and loved accordingly. Shimon the HaPerush did not — and his cool reception betrayed it. Yeshua's verdict: he who is forgiven little, loves little. Knowing your real debt is what unlocks real love.
- Tehillim 32:1–5Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven
