Pastor Mary Martha saying GOD BLESS YOU today.
In Luke 15, we find three parables of Jesus that carry a united message: God seeks the lost, God loves the lost, God celebrates finding the lost. The parables are told in a way that invites us to think of things we have lost….and found, and to consider the joy we have had when finding something dear to our hearts that had been lost. It might be a thing. Or our faith. Or hope. Or a person. Or a part of ourselves we thought was lost. The parables Jesus tells in this chapter of Luke let us know that God is always searching for us, for all who are lost, and that God is coming to find us no matter what. Knowing this truth can allow us to experience joy when we see others brought back home to God. For in joy God welcomes us home…literally eternally. God bless you.
