Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with Grood Simon as weeping up and move chapter 7 verse 47 and now with today's message

here's Pastor Chuck Simon was a poor host he did not show to Jesus any of these common

courtesies he did not wash Jesus's feet he did not anoint his head with oil, nor did he kiss him when he entered the house.

But this woman washed his feet with her tears, dried them with her hair, kissed his feet continually, and anointed his feet with ointment.

And here's Simon the Pharisee, sitting there in his pompous, self-righteous attitude, said,

if he were really a prophet, he wouldn't allow this to go on.

He'd know what kind of a woman she was, and he wouldn't allow this to go on. He'd know what kind of a woman she was.

And he wouldn't allow her to touch her.

You see, Simon wouldn't touch that woman.

Because if you touched her, you'd be considered unclean.

She was a sinner.

Don't let that woman touch me.

I'm glad Jesus is touchable, even by sinners.

I appreciate that so much.

I can reach out and touch the Lord, no matter how badly I fail.
