Good News! Jesus Pursues Lost Sheep

Jun 23, 2024    Kyle Caudell

In today's sermon, we will reflect on the profound parable of the lost sheep from Luke 15:1-7, where Jesus underscores the boundless grace and relentless pursuit of God for those who have strayed. We are reminded that there will always be sheep who wander away, as all humanity has been endowed with the knowledge of God yet often turns away (Romans 1:20-21). Despite this tendency to stray, we are blessed with a Good Shepherd who fervently pursues His lost sheep, demonstrating His unwavering commitment to seek and save the lost (Luke 15:4-5, Luke 19:10). Moreover, the joy in heaven over a repentant sinner is immense, surpassing the satisfaction in the righteousness of those who have not strayed, highlighting the extraordinary celebration that occurs when a lost soul is brought back to the fold (Luke 15:6-7). As we delve into this message, let us be inspired by the relentless love of our Shepherd and the rejoicing that follows every act of redemption.
