Episode Details

Tuesday, February 25: In this episode of The Daily Grind, John takes us through one of the most powerful encounters in the Gospel of Luke—the story of a sinful woman who found complete forgiveness in Jesus. We begin with a look at how we come to know someone deeply, using the example of Tour de France champion Chris Froome. Then, we step into a dinner party hosted by a Pharisee named Simon, where an uninvited guest—a woman with a reputation—changes everything. Overcome with gratitude, she washes Jesus' feet with her tears and anoints Him with perfume, an act of love that reveals the depth of her forgiveness. Meanwhile, Simon, the self-righteous host, struggles to understand how Jesus could embrace such a person. Through a parable of two debtors, Jesus teaches that those who realize the depth of their forgiveness will love deeply. This episode challenges us to reflect on where we see ourselves in this story. Are we like Simon, believing we’ve earned God’s favor, or like the woman, humbly receiving grace? Ultimately, Jesus cancels our debt and invites us into a life of love and freedom. Don’t miss this powerful message on the transforming power of forgiveness!
