God Quote-Celebrate Conversions to Christ
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Luke 15, verse 32.
“We had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.”
In the story of the Prodigal Son, the Father had a feast to celebrate his son’s return. But the other son was angry about such a lavish occasion.
He refused to go in. That is when the Father pleaded with him to join the celebration.
The lost matter to God. He celebrates anyone who recognizes their need for His grace and comes to Jesus for forgiveness. The heart of the Father extends mercy and expresses joy when someone experiences new life in Christ. He wants His people to share in the celebration whenever a lost soul finds their place in God’s family.
Luke 15:32-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
