Bible Note: I understand what you are saying however, we must remember that Christ could see the girl's heart. He could understand what was in her heart and her motive behind her actions. He states the purpose in the passage where He says she had been forgiven much and loved Him for this forgiveness. I think if you can understand how helpless and incapable to help ourselves in breaking sin's hold on our lives that when we see this free gift of Christ in the cross and how this same power of the Holy Spirit that raised Him from the dead is available to us today when we see it clearly our heart is overfilled with joy and happiness through tears. Do you remember the first time you saw this clearly and accepted Christ's gift of redemption for you? It is perhaps when we look back to that point in our lives that the joy of our salvation is fresh and new and the wonder of it all fills us with overwhelming joy inexpressable. Christ has given His all for us and when we see that we want to give our all to Him for His great love for us. He loves us more than any person has ever loved us. We do not know the details of her using her hair because the scriptures do not bring out that detail however we can see by her actions and the explanation it was her overwhelming joy and thankfulness and love for her Master that was her motive in what she did.
