We’re to love the world and love the poor, and if we do such we will benefit from acting in a way in which God himself acts. So it’s an aspect of divine condescension but it also shows how God ...
Apr 17, 2020 · So, to whom are we debtors? We are quick to say we are debtors to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirt. Spurgeon felt that, since we are God’s creations, we are indebted to obey Him. He explained disciples go from being indebted to His justice to being indebted to His love, power, and mercy. However, Spurgeon did list others to whom we are indebted.
Aug 29, 2023 · While we owe a debt to no longer live for sin (Romans 6:12), we must not make the mistake of thinking that our obedience to God somehow “settles” the debt we owe.

The parable of the two debtors is found in Luke 7:41-43. The story was given by Jesus Christ (properly known as Yahshua the Messiah) during his meal at the house of Simon the Pharisee. The story begins when a Pharisee, whose name is Simon, invited Jesus to eat with him in his house. While Christ sat down to eat, a woman from the same city approache...
When you read the four gospels, you will find stories similar to Luke’s account in Matthew, Mark, and John.
When it comes to Luke 7:36-50, a lot of discussions revolved around the woman’s identity. Who is this woman? What was her life background? Where did she come from? If you read Luke 7:36-50, the Gospel writer doesn’t specify who this woman was. However, one thing we can be sure of is that this woman was a known sinner in an unspecified city in Galil...
For many of us, when we think of Jesus or Yahshua, we rarely equate Him to a prophet. However, we see in the Gospels how Yahshua is called and considered a prophet. Here are some examples:
Now, here’s where Christ leveled up His identity. Instead of simply just another prophet, He became a God by demonstrating His power to forgive sins (Luke 7:47-48). No one can forgive sins, but God, and since Christ forgave the sin of the woman, it only confirms that Christ is not a mere man and prophet, but He is indeed the Messiah, a God in flesh...
We read in the parable of the two debtors the amount of their debt in Luke 7:41: According to scholars, one denarius is equivalent to one day’s wage of a common worker. So, if you think of it, the first debtor owed more than a year’s wage while the other owed more than a month’s wage. Even if the second debtor has fewer debts, both of them are not ...
During the first century, women were seen as inferior to men. They are considered to be second-class. Because of this, it is not difficult to see how many people look down on women, especially sinners. If it is true that the woman here was a prostitute, that would make it even worse for her to appear before Christ. For a few moments, try to imagine...
I believe one of the most important lessons we can learn from this parable is that no matter how sinful your past is, you can still come before the Throne of God and ask for forgiveness. The two debtors have different amounts of debt. The amount of debt didn’t stop the moneylender from forgiving both of them. For the moneylender, he didn’t care abo...
No one can hide their thoughts and feelings from Christ. In Matthew 9:4, we read how Christ was able to know the thoughts of the scribes. Now, in Luke 7:36-50, we see how Christ was able to discern the heart of Simon, the Pharisee. Christ knew the thoughts of Simon, which prompted the giving of the parable of the two debtors. This should both encou...
It is quite interesting to note the main point of the parable of the two debtors. Christ was pointing out that the one who was forgiven more will and should love God more. Sadly, this is not always the case. This is what we have seen in Simon. See what Christ said to Simon in Luke 7:44-46: There’s a stark contrast between Simon and the sinful woman...
When we break God’s covenant law, it is sin and death to us; the law of sin works in us, because our rebellion against God leads us into the pursuit of death (Prov. 8:36). In Christ, however, the law is in harmony with and expressive of the Holy Spirit of life, and it gives us covenant blessings.
