Summary
In this message, Pastor Ken teaches us about the depth of God's grace and forgiveness in the gospel, and how it relates to our own sin. What does it mean to be a Christian? Why do we cling so closely to God, and why do we miss the full extent of His grace in the Gospel?

In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300
to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260
positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360
and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480
five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Now, the reality is for all those who are
00:00:30.000
in Christ Jesus, you have been forgiven of all your sin. And in all our cases, our sin is much.
00:00:36.780
In the objective sense, there's not one Christian who has ever been forgiven little. All have been
00:00:41.160
forgiven much. But again, Jesus is speaking to the perception, the subjective sense. Those who
00:00:49.240
recognize. Sure, you've all been forgiven much, but not all of us recognize the full depth of
00:00:56.140
that forgiveness. And the reason why we miss the sheer magnitude of God's grace in the gospel
00:01:01.780
is because we miss how holy God is and how sinful we are. If you miss God's holiness and you miss
00:01:10.620
man's sinfulness, you miss Christ's forgiveness. And the irony is that the forgiveness of Christ
00:01:18.820
his assurance of pardon, the gospel of free grace is the very wind in our sails that drives us
00:01:25.100
towards obedience to God's law in its third use. The person who is following the light to their
00:01:31.280
path and the lamp to their feet, that's a person who's radically been changed and impacted by the
00:01:37.580
free grace of Jesus and the forgiveness of sins. The reason why we always say David was a man after
00:01:45.000
god's own heart despite his sin with besheba no no david was a man after god's own heart precisely
00:01:51.840
because of his sin with besheba that sin along with a litany of others it's not the only one
00:01:58.720
but it's profound sins like that that made david cling so closely to christ
00:02:04.300
it's not that he loved god despite his sin he loved god for his forgiveness in light of his sin
00:02:43.340
In fact, you could argue in some sense, perhaps even less.
00:02:47.280
At least she didn't have the sin of self-righteousness.
00:02:51.200
These other guys, Jesus even says, you did nothing for me.
00:03:04.500
But since she's entered the room, she has not ceased to weep
00:03:07.860
and wash my feet with her tears and dry them with her hair.
00:03:10.980
her sins are many now jesus is telling them to their face so are yours namely the sin you're
00:03:19.060
committing right now by ignoring the messiah the sin you're committing right now by your arrogance
0.80
00:03:24.460
pride and self-righteousness so there's a very real sense in which these pharisees and sadducees
0.95
00:03:31.200
are just as sinful as the woman perhaps even more but why is she so profoundly broken by her sin
0.91
00:03:38.040
and therefore driven in her worship of the Savior
00:03:41.180
because she had the sins that were despised of the day.
00:03:47.440
She had the sins that all of society agreed on were sinful.
