The Lost Sheep.

He came for me. Be sure that He has and will come for all of us. What a magnificent day it is to be a Gentile…

The Parable of the Lost Sheep
Luke 15:1-7

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

You know who Jesus is referring to. You have seen them. Perhaps even judged them. Ok. Now. Don’t hold that against yourself. That was never the intention of Jesus. He was not here to persecute us, but rather a He came to Earth as man to redeem and release us. So reframe the judgement and change (repent) today. Go and get them. You know who.

On that amazing day, Jesus rose from the tomb. He rolled the stone away for us to believe. He ascended into Heaven and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. But He left us with something. Something more powerful than anything ever given anyon3. He gave us the Holy Spirit. Accept it. Receive it. Freely. You will grow. Exponentially.

Amen.
