One woman gave Jesus everything. One religious man gave Him nothing. In Luke 7:36–50, a sinful outsider pours out extravagant worship at Jesus’ feet, while a Pharisee with front-row access withholds honor, love, and surrender.

This message exposes a sobering truth: proximity to Jesus means nothing without surrender. You can attend church, hear sermons, and still keep Christ at arm’s length. Forgiveness isn’t earned through self-righteous restraint—it’s received through humble faith. And when you know how much you’ve been forgiven, worship stops being calculated and becomes extravagant.

Stop managing Jesus. Start surrendering to Him.
