2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • Two people are in that room with Jesus — Simon and the woman. How does Jesus treat each of them?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Jesus says the one forgiven much loves much. What does that show you about why your love runs hot or cold?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • She thanked Jesus with something costly, in public, without caring who watched. What would gratitude that costs you something look like this week?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who do you know who thinks their past disqualifies them from walking into any room where Jesus is?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
