Seest Thou This Woman?
Luke 7:44
And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon, See you this woman? I entered into your house, you gave me no water for my feet…


Simon had not seen the woman yet He had only seen the sinner. Look, then, on the woman at last, O Pharisee. Look upon her in the light of the parable you have just heard. Look on thyself, too, for as yet thou hast not seen thyself — the Pharisee hiding the man from thy incurious eyes. Thou poor blind Pharisee I if love be the proof of forgiveness, how much hast thou, loving so little, been forgiven?

(S. Cox, D. D.)
