After John’s disciples left, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind? 25Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.

But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it.

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” 48Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for taking my desire to understand away and for allowing me to understand what you may today. Make me into the vessel you want me to be.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
