Scripture: Luke 15: 6-7

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Scripture Commentary: I have found my way back to the Lord

The parables recorded in The Book of Luke continuously stress that our God is forgiving. Stories like that of the woman who lost a piece of silver, and of the son who spent all of his inheritance also contain this theme. In the parables, each found what was lost and there was great joy.

We have all drifted from the path of righteousness. Think back on a time when you lost your way in your walk with God.  Ask yourself, “how did I feel when I returned?”   How did it feel to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

God’s love is above all

We do our best to forgive and forget, but God’s love is above all. God loves us so much that he gave his only son to save us.  He gave his son on the chance that we might use our free will to turn to him. Jesus died for the forgiveness of our sins. He gave us all direct access to God.

The shepherd found his sheep. The woman found her lost silver.  The father rejoiced in recovering his lost son.

Find yourself in Jesus Christ. The angels and all of heaven rejoice over each of us repentant sinners who have found our way back to Jesus Christ.
