One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. (Luke 7:36-38 ESV)
Where are the bouncers at the door? That's the first question that comes to my mind in this paragraph. This Pharisee would typically be very picky about who came in - but then again, he did ask Jesus to come in. A willingness to let Jesus and in serve Him SHOULD make us more willing to open up, let others in, and serve them too. Shouldn't it?
