One Lost Sheep

Standard

Devotion:  Matthew 18:10-14

Last night, I was privileged to see a man be birthed into God’s kingdom. My friend Michele had been talking with him for over a year.  Many of our friends had been praying for him to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Our former pastor and friend, Dr. Joe Brown was preaching a revival and Michele invited her friend to come.  He drove a long way just to be there. As God would have it, this man had asked for a sign from God, to prove He existed.  He had been reading God’s Word and Dr. Brown preached from Mark 10:17-22; the passage about the rich young ruler.  This modern day man, had just read these very verses and identified with the rich young ruler.  He told MIchele,”That’s me.”

Here’s another miracle.  Doctor Brown had planned to preach from this passage, the night before, but had brought the wrong set of notes. “Wrong” sermon, preached on the “wrong” night, to a different crowd of people!  However, it was all orchestrated by our Lord.   Oh, my friend, do you see the extent God will go, to rescue one lost sheep?

If we seek Him, He will let us find Him, when we search for Him with all our heart.  The angels in heaven are rejoicing that his name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

In Motion:

Who are you talking to about Jesus? Take the gospel to another lost sheep.  Your Shepherd longs to bring him or her into His fold.
