-
The beauty of God's plan for salvation is that it extends to everyone who calls on his name to be saved.
-
He has made a way for all nations, all people, to share a relationship with God.
-
And not only that, but he desires for everyone to know this freedom.
-
Today we're focusing our prayer on those who are lost, those who do not yet know the life and freedom from God.
-
Luke 15, 4 through 7 will help ground us in this time of prayer.
-
It says, Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.
-
Doesn't he leave the 99 in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
-
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.
-
Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, Rejoice with me.
-
I have found my lost sheep.
-
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who do not need to repent.
-
Take a moment to thank God for the way he pursues people with his love.
-
Thank you for your saving grace.
-
Amen.
