BIBLE THOUGHT
***************************************************
One Soul
Jesus Said," Which man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? Luke 15:4
Jesus was very emphatic about the price of one soul. He placed alot of emphasis in his Word when it came to the saving and redeeming of a lost soul. He thought that one soul was worth everything. He was so willing to save one lost soul, that he robed Himself in flesh and gave himself as a ransom for lost mankind.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16
It is man's inherent nature that causes him to seek his own way and choose to do wrong. Jesus is not willing that any should perish...not one lost sheep that went atray would Jesus forget..so he went to look for him. In this parable, we see Gods Love for man. The sheperd didn't have to go find that one lost sheep who strayed, for he had ninety-nine more just like it. It is not a matter of numbers. It is a matter of Gods love for you and me.
Jesus is our Good Sheperd. He wants only the best for us and wants us to turn to him and trust him. Like the sheperd who sought and found that one lost sheep, Jesus is seeking that one lost soul who has strayed from Him.
Maybe you are reading this today and you have strayed from the Good Sheperd. Turn your heart toward home and he will take you in. Know this one thing...He will not stop until he has found you..because He loves you!!
"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3
If the Lord is drawing you... hear Him today.
