Luke 7:47 ASV

Too often I know that I place myself on a higher level than others I know to be "sinners" because I don't struggle with this or that sin or have certain areas of my life in order. But Jesus sets the record straight here. My thinking that I don't have as much sin in my life that's been forgiven, often correlates to how much I love not just Christ, but others even. At those times when I am not as loving towards others or as passionately in love with Christ, I'd do well to pause and reflect on how infected I am with sin and how much God has forgiven me. The more we realize how much Christ has forgiven us, the more we'll be able to love.
