Luke 15

  1. Then Jesus told them this parable:
  2. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
  3. And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders
  4. and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
  5. 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.

Takeaway

  • We are all lost, just in different ways.
  • The feeling of joy cannot be put in words when the Shepherd finds you and carries you on his shoulders and takes you home safe.
  • It’s amazing that Jesus is so happy about saving us. How much more can we rejoice.
