Confession is Good for the Soul

Hook: Why does judging others come so naturally?

Book: Jesus used the thankful heart of this sinful woman to expose the hard heart of this religious leader. She was brutally honest about her sin and need of forgiveness, while Simon winked at His own failures. By comparing himself to her, Simon felt justified. Jesus wanted him to know that love is the natural response to God’s gracious forgiveness. Simon’s lack of love revealed an unforgiving heart that failed to see the depths of his own sin. It was easier to recognize her sin than to admit his own. The woman’s confession brought her salvation and peace.

Took: Why is it so difficult to acknowledge sin? Who would experience more love if you did some confessing?
