WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 7:37-38

 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, 38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

WEEPING / LUKE 7:37-38

Because of her love for Jesus, this woman is willing to humble herself and wet His feet with her tears, taking no thought of what others might think of her. A person’s weeping can reveal a range of things. It can be an expression of sorrow and grief, joy and elation, or of grateful love for Christ.

  1. By weeping in prayer and faith, believers can often express to God what is in their hearts, without using words. The Lord values such tears as if they are an offering or act of service to Him (Luke 7:34-50; Psalms 126:5-6; Jeremiah 9:1; 14:17; 31:15-16; Acts 20:19, 31; 2 Corinthians 2:4; Nehemiah 8:9). Tears are sometimes evidence of identifying with Christ as one endures rejection and shares in His sufferings (2 Corinthians 1:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:13).
  2. Christ Himself wept with compassion for spiritually lost people (Luke 19:40-41; John 11:35). The apostle Paul (a pioneer missionary who started many New Testament churches and wrote many of the New Testament letters or “books”) served the Lord with many tears: tears of joy over those who had believed on Christ and tears of grief over those who had not (Acts 20:19; 2 Corinthians 2:4). Even today God’s people who weep are considered blessed and will eventually find joy (Luke 6:21). In Christ’s future eternal kingdom, God will wipe away all tears from the eyes of His people (He will do away with all reasons for sorrow, grief and pain, Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:4). For more concerning prayer and tears, read 2 Kings 20:5; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 56:8).
