Dieric Bouts, 1415-1475. Christ in the House of Simon, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.
Sung Eucharist 11 a.m.
Our Old Testament and Gospel readings this Sunday focus on repentance and forgiveness. Nathan confronts David over his affair with Bathsheba - he has had her husband, Uriah the Hittite, killed and taken her to be his wife.
As he is at table in Simon’s house a woman ‘who was a sinner’ comes to Jesus and anoints his feet. Jesus tells her, and the dinner party, that she has been forgiven, hence the great love she shows to him.
