Jesus accepted an invitation to attend a dinner hosted by Simon, a Pharisee, at his residence in Bethany. For Jesus, this would present an opportunity to demonstrate God’s forgiveness. Unexpected, by the host, the person wanting forgiveness and a spiritual rebirth slipped in and found Jesus at the lower end of the table. The guests could hardly take their eyes away from what they saw. There was a woman at the feet of Jesus, sobbing and wiping his feet with her hair. This continued for a considerable time, until she poured a jar of expensive perfume on his body. Meanwhile, the host was annoyed by the distraction, which had now become the main attraction. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Luke 7:36-39]
