Luke 15:3-7
So he told them this parable:
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it?
And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
Homily:
Do you know the great lengths God will go to bring you to Him?
Do you know the sacrifices He has made to reconcile you to Him?
Do you know how important you are to the whole?
Do you know how much He misses your role?
Do you know He knows you?
Do you know He loves you?
Do you know?
