Finding the One

What truly brings joy to the heart of God? In Luke 15, Jesus answers that question through the powerful parable of the lost sheep. In this message, we explore how God’s heart is revealed in His pursuit of those who are far from Him and why heaven rejoices when even one sinner repents. 

As Jesus responds to the complaints of the Pharisees, He exposes the difference between religious pride and the compassion of God. While the religious leaders rejected sinners, Jesus welcomed them, revealing that His mission was to seek and save the lost. 

This message reminds us that salvation is not simply about improved behavior but about a transformed heart, and it challenges believers to share God’s concern for those who have wandered far from Him. Just as the shepherd searches for the one lost sheep, Christ pursues those who cannot find their way home, and He calls His church to carry that same heart for the lost.
