Opening Verse
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” – Luke 19:10 (KJV)
Introduction
Have you ever felt lost, like you were wandering without direction? Sometimes in life, we stray from the path and it’s difficult to find our way back. But there’s good news: Jesus is always seeking us out.
Devotional Story
A shepherd had a hundred sheep and one of them went astray. He left the ninety-nine and went into the wilderness to find the one that was lost. He searched diligently, not giving up until he found it. When he finally did, he joyfully put it on his shoulders and brought it home. This story reminds us of how Jesus pursues us when we wander off.
What This Means
Jesus never stops looking for us, no matter how far we have strayed. He is the Good Shepherd who cares deeply for each of His sheep. When we feel lost, we must remember that Jesus is actively seeking to bring us back to Him. His love is relentless and His desire is to save us.
