Matthew 18:14 NIV
In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
Luke 15:4
“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
Luke 15:6
and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
Luke 15:9
And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’
Luke 15:24
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
Luke 15:32
But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”
Why?
Because LOST PEOPLE MATTER TO GOD!
Something of Great Value has gone missing, lost!
That which is lost is so valuable, other things are put aside to search.
Why did the father not go after his prodigal son?
Luke 15:13 (ESV):
Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
Luke 15:20 (ESV):
And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
- When the lost is rescued or comes home it brings rejoicing.
1 Corinthians 9:22
“all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some”
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
