Jesus emphasized the importance of every person to God with three stories about something lost: a sheep, a coin, and a son (Luke 15).
In each story, a person has lost something of great value. When it is found, friends and neighbors are called to celebrate and rejoice together.
The point is clear: We are all of great value to God, who offers us forgiveness and new life through Christ. And He faithfully pursues us with His love and grace.
We were the lost sheep that God found and brought back into His fold.
We were the lost coin that God searched for His treasure store.
We were the long lost son that God brought home again.
We are special to God because we belong to Him. Don't bring Him shame.
