Topic : Jesus Came To Save The Lost.

Memory Verse : ‭Luke 19:10: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Bible Reading : ‭Luke 15:4-6 NIV‬. Key Verse : v4.

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine 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.’

When Jesus Christ was on earth doing his earthly ministry, he was free with all kinds of people in order to reach them. Because of the way he mingled and related with notable sinners in his days, religious leaders of his days and teachers of the law became uncomfortable with his style of ministry and began to complain about it. Jesus being God knowing what was going on in their minds began to open their eyes to understand that those sinners were the primary target of his ministry, in order to restore them to their maker and God at the end of it all. “Many dishonest tax collectors and other notorious sinners often gathered around to listen as Jesus taught the people. This raised concerns with the Jewish religious leaders and experts of the law. Indignant, they grumbled and complained, saying, “Look at how this man associates with all these notorious sinners and welcomes them all to come to him!”” Luke 15:1-2 TPT.

In response to their grumblings Jesus had to use the parable of the lost sheep and prodigal son to drive home the point that he came to the earth simply to seek and save men who were lost in their sins, as to give them a new life in himself. When men created by God to love, live for and serve his purpose on earth liive contrary, it means they are lost. To be lost when a man has a physical address and can always be seen by men busy with activities is to live a wasted life. Any man living for himself, who doesn’t care to know what God wants from him while he lives here on earth is wasting. If the person should die without retracing his steps back to his creator and to serve or fulfill the purpose for which God brought him to the earth, he will discover in eternity that he wasted his days on earth. Just as the aircraft that gets lost from the radar or control system will always end in fatality, every man that looses touch with his creator, who lives for himself is bound to end as an eternal disaster.

Today Jesus Christ is reaching out to all that cares to listen to share his love with each and every one of us. His love for men was so strong that he couldn’t avoid men even in their sins, rather he is still reaching out to men even in our days through his servants across the world who has become his mouthpiece. Jesus is still walking the surface of the earth using divine messengers. ““He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”” Luke 16:27-31.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because you are the source of true life. Today, open the eyes of my understanding to comprehend the depth of love you have for me that made you die to save me from destruction. Because you died for me, I will live to fulfill your purpose all my days in Jesus precious name….. Amen🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 14:1-14.
