“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?… Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?” Luke 15:4 & 8
Jesus Cares About The Lost.
Jesus takes seriously the state of the lost…always.
One time Michelangelo was asked to comment on a sculpture by his best student. He said, “It is magnificent. It lacks only one thing…life.”
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” John 5:24
