One of the smashing things about our heavenly Dad is that thru the Scripture, He uncovers what matters to Him. In the parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep, and the “lost” prodigal child, Jesus divulges the heart of God.
People who have missed the saving truth of God, as well as followers who have rambled away from His methods, learn that they matter seriously to Him. Just as the widow scoured the room to find the coin, God pursues us so we might accept His present of religion. Like the shepherd who left those ninety-nine sheep in safety to find the one who had wandered away, our Shepherd has the emphasis of bringing us into relationship with Himself.
And His concern is similar whether we are wandering for the 1st or hundredth time. Just as the prodigal’s dad welcomed his son back and pardoned him, our heavenly Pop guarantees the same to us. Due to the saving work of Jesus Christ, God’s love “keeps no record of wrongs” ( one Corinthians 13:5 ). The prodigal’s pop threw a celebratory party, and Scripture tells us that heaven rejoices when one who was lost has been found ( Luke 15:6, 9-10, 24 ). Does your heart beat as God’s does for the lost? If not, pray for a heart change. One of the glorious things about our heavenly Pop is that through the Scripture, He uncovers what matters to Him.
In the parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep, and the “lost” prodigal kid, Jesus shares the heart of God. Folks who have missed the saving truth of God, as well as supporters who have walked away from His truths, learn that they matter noticeably to Him. Just as the widow scoured the room to find the coin, God pursues us so we would accept His present of deliverance. And His concern has similarities whether we are rambling for the first or hundredth time.
Just as the prodigal’s pa welcomed his boy back and excused him, our heavenly Dad guarantees the same to us. Because of the saving work of Jesus Christ, God’s love “keeps no record of wrongs” ( one Corinthians 13:5 ). The prodigal’s father threw a celebratory party, and Scripture tells us that heaven rejoices when one who was lost has been found ( Luke 15:6, 9-10, twenty-four ). Our loving heavenly Pa craves that each person in His creation be “found.”. Does your heart beat as God’s does for the lost? If not, pray for a heart change.
