[151] Matt. vi, 1, 2, 5, 16.
[152] Matt. vi, 11; xx, 14; Luke xvii, 10; Matt. vi, 33; v, 48, 44, 45; Luke vii, 47. It seems plain that the Parable of the Two Debtors, which appears in this last passage, declares how pardon awakens love; and that the sinful woman’s act and Our Lord’s direct comment on it, which are now made to serve as that Parable’s frame, demonstrate how love produces pardon. In my text I have been busy only with the second of these twin truths.
