By definition, a party crasher is an uninvited guest. If you were asked to name a party crasher found in the New Testament, would you have an answer? (Hint: a woman found in Luke).A couple of years ago, party crashers made the news. Apparently, an uninvited couple crashed a banquet at the White House. They passed through many security agents who somehow failed to catch them. They ended up meeting President Obama and his wife, had their pictures taken with diplomats and celebrities and enjoyed a bit notoriety when they were finally caught! They took the risk of punishment in order to spend one evening in the company of some of the country’s most famous citizens.
In the gospel of Luke, we also find a party crasher. A woman, perhaps a prostitute, who came as an uninvited guest to bestow a special gift.
See what the special gift was here. —Barbara Hyland, guest writer
