Day 15 - Christmas Tradition: Jesus was born to save the lost - Luke 15:6

The word of truth about Jesus was born to save God's lost sheep - Read 100 verses about being lost 

Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! So Jesus told them this story: “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’  In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!“ - Luke 15:1-7 NLT

Quote: "When you feel lost, the Good Shepherd will come looking for you. He never slumbers. He never sleeps. He never forgets. He never stops believing in you. He calls you by name. He never fails."  - Hector Perez   

Praise & Prayer 

Once I was dead and have come back to life. Once I was lost, but now I am found! I praise You, Lord Jesus, for being the Good Shepherd who came to seek and to save crooked tax collectors, notorious sinners, and people who are disappointments. Your birth has brought humanity the priceless gifts of newness of life, newness of hope, and newness of meaning to sinners like me who have blown it over and over again. Thank You for pursuing me, carrying me on Your shoulders, caring for me when I was beaten up, and for never giving up on me. Holy Spirit, please guide me to someone today who is a lamb chop ready to be eaten by the devil. Use my care to open their ears to hear the remarkable story of Christmas and the reason why Jesus was born, which is to rescue lost sinners. I pray for their salvation in Yeshua's mighty name.
