The feeling of imminency about something great happening during the Passover Festival in Jerusalem made Mary Magdalen - a sinner in the eyes of her village - bring her expensive container of myrrh and anoint Jesus’ body just days before His death and burial. And she received the reassurance of forgiveness. Jesus’ parable teaches that he who is forgiven more loves more. This is not primarily about the number or gravity of forgiven sins. Forgiveness and love are qualitative rather than quantitative; how deep they touch the heart and impact daily life.
