Sinful woman show her love to Jesus:
There was a known sinful woman during those times who came in a party where Jesus was eating with the Pharisees and his disciples.  From the time Jesus entered she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume, this perfume is very expensive.  As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet Jesus feet with her tears.  Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them. 

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.” 

Jesus explains the value of repentance:
Jesus can read minds, He knows what this Pharisee’s thinking.   Instead of talking directly to the Pharisee, Jesus turns to Peter and tell that whoever is forgiven a little loves a little, but whoever is forgiven more loves more.   This sinful woman’s many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown.  He explains this while all the other guests and Pharisees in the party are listening.

Jesus can forgive any kind of sins:
After this Jesus told the woman “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”  Some guests are in doubt, some are amazed, they said to each other, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”   

The answer is 100% yes.  Jesus is able to forgive any kind of sin, from the tiniest and even to the giant sins that we know.
