whats going on

Mathew 18:12-14 "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."

Easy enough, God wants everyone to be saved and adopted into his family. We were once the lost sheep, and we allowed God to save us. So, guess what. He threw a party in heaven to celebrate the lamb that was saved which is you and me just like the father did for his son in Luke 15: 11-32 (parable of the prodigal son).

When we get save and give our lives to God at first it’s like a party, everything is great. But after a while we become like the 99 that were never lost or the son that stayed with his father in Luke 15: 11-32. We forget about the lost sheep or become envious of the brother who comes home and parties with Jesus.

Remember, we are to be a light to the lost. After awhile we mature a little and we might think that's it but there is more; "Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few"", we are the laborers, in the field of lost sheep, we must find them and bring them back. We are called to spread the word.

Amen
