Send us a textThe Shepherd's relentless pursuit of a single lost sheep reveals a profound truth about God's heart for the wanderer. Pastors Lee Day and Jim Archambault unpack this powerful parable from Matthew 18:12-14, challenging listeners to reconsider what it means to be sought after by God.Have you ever felt too far gone for redemption? Jesus paints a vivid picture of a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine safely grazing sheep to search tirelessly for just one that has strayed. This isn't merely a story about livestock management—it's a revelation of divine priority. The shepherd's determination mirrors God's unwavering commitment to each person who has wandered away.What strikes deepest about this parable is the celebration that follows restoration. "He rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray." Heaven throws a bigger party for one returning wanderer than for those who never left. This doesn't diminish the faithful but highlights the extraordinary value God places on restoration. As Pastor Jim notes, "When one soul is saved, it is an absolute reason to celebrate."The conversation turns personal as both pastors reflect on their own salvation experiences and the transformative moment of encountering Christ. They challenge listeners to remember we were all once "the one" who needed pursuing, and now we're called to extend that same radical pursuit to others. "How many times have I missed the one?" Pastor Lee wonders, prompting us all to consider those we encounter daily who might be one conversation away from finding their way back to God.Whether you feel like the lost sheep or you're being challenged to leave your comfort zone to seek someone who's wandered, this episode will rekindle your appreciation for God's relentless love.
