NKJV Luke 15

Well I feel some better today, my throat isn't as sore and the rest of the stuff seems to be lifting! Thank you Lord!! I posted a recipe for a roast on here, go check it out and give it a try. Seriously one of the most requested things I make...it was going to be dinner tonight until the hubby called and told me hes taking me out! He said maybe the hot sauce will clear up on my allergies and make me better.


Chapter 15 find us with tax collectors and sinners waiting to hear Jesus speak. Jesus speaks in parables for most of this chapter and from them we learn he values the repentance of the lost one over that of 100 who are found and don't have to repent. We hear the parable of the young son who squander his inheritance and came home to a celebration because he was lost and now found.

S.O.A.P.

Scripture
Luke 15: 7 & 10
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heave over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Observation
God is happy when one sinner repents than when a hundred who don't need to repents.

Application
Instead of turning up our noses at some one who is of "savory" character we should witness to them and let them know God rejoices in the repentance of sins! He wants us in his fold and He will tack down the one and leave behind a hundred of saved souls for the one who isn't. I know some think it might seem cruel but we were once that one and he left the flock to save us. Don't we want the same for others. He is still there for the ones He left, he hears their prayers, sees their needs and loves them all the same.

Prayer
Dear Lord,

I thank you for this day and on that day you found me by my self and saved me I thank you that you did. I thank you for this extraordinary life. Help us find the lost souls and preach your word to them.

Amen
