Leave the 99 to find the one every time..Luke 15
I choose this story Saturday after hearing what Antonio said about his experience at the clinic were 4 people accepted Christ and Rick said, “this is why we come.”
I heard the song “Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury driving down from Santa Rosa and it touched my heart. Some of what I’m saying came from his song.
The song goes “there isn’t anything that God wouldn’t do for us. There’s no shadow you won’t light up, no mountain you won’t climb up, coming after me. There’s no wall you won’t kick down, lie you won’t tear down, coming after me.”
Luke 15, Jesus says the shepherd JOYFULLY puts the one sheep on his shoulders then he calls his friends to REJOICE with him. This is the reckless love of God. He doesn’t consider himself first or isn’t self-serving. He puts himself out there on the off chance that we will look back and give him that love in return. His love leaves the 99 every time to find the ONE.
But what if…What if he loses the 99? But what if finding that ONE lost sheep is way more important. He gives himself away again and again.
I have sinned terribly in my past. My sins, our sins, pains his heart, but he opens his heart and lets us back in every..single..time. Gods sees us broken. He will pick us up and carry us in our weakness. Let him break down your walls.
Romans 10:13 says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Call his name…
Bendiciones,
