Sharper Iron From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Roswell, NM, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Luke 7:36-50. This text presents a beautiful example of justification by grace through faith. The sinful woman knows that Jesus has taken away her shame by His forgiveness, and so she ignores any social awkwardness to worship Jesus, even if only at His feet. Simon the Pharisee, at whose house Jesus is eating, is sure that this proves Jesus is not a prophet. Out of love for Simon and in order to call Simon away from his self-righteousness, Jesus speaks to Simon in a parable that shows that this woman has loved Jesus in this way because she has recognized that all her sins are forgiven. She has received this forgiveness through faith, and her love for Jesus has been a result. Jesus calls Simon and all to this faith that believes that for Jesus’ sake, our sins are forgiven before God and we stand justified in His sight. “The Beloved Physician’s Orderly Account” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron tha
