The Math of Mercy

Devon Accardi, teaching from Luke 7:36–50, describes the scene in which a sinful woman interrupts a Pharisee’s dinner to worship Jesus with humility and repentance, contrasting her response with the Pharisee’s judgment and pride. Through Jesus’ parable of the forgiven debts, he shows that those who recognize the depth of their sin respond with greater love and gratitude. Forgiveness is not about minimizing sin, but about grasping the full weight of grace given through Christ.
