To The Rescue

READ: Luke 15:1-7

There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. —Luke 15:7

Martie and I recently traveled to some major cities in several countries. We were struck with how lost our world is and grieved over the millions who have never heard the message of the saving grace of Jesus. The thought of reaching our world for Christ felt overwhelming.

Until I remembered the story of the boy walking on a beach. Encountering hundreds of starfish dying under the heat of the burning sun, he started throwing them back into the sea. A passerby asked, “What are you doing?” “Saving their lives,” the boy replied. “Forget it,” the man said. “You can’t possibly save all these starfish.” “Right,” replied the boy, “but it makes a big difference to each one I do save.”

I love the boy’s perspective. When the wave of sin threw us onto the shore to die, God sent His Son to walk on the beach to rescue all who would repent. And, as Jesus told His listeners in Luke 15, each time someone is rescued, heaven throws a party. “I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:7).

Has heaven rejoiced over your rescue? If so, join the ranks of those who reach other lost souls with the rescuing grace of Jesus.

Your love, O God, would spare no pain
To conquer death and win;
You sent Your only Son to die
To rescue us from sin. —M. Gustafson

When you’ve been rescued, you’ll want to rescue others.

Good evening, Perky....how’s the biking coming along? Kitties all well?

[AZamericonnie]

Actually Kathy I worked very hard last night & this morning to relax this afternoon. lol

Made some stew & beef jerky & watched a couple movies w/Big T.

The rain has ranged from lite to heavy but overcast & dark all day.

Didn’t there used to be a way to set your time zone on FR? I thought there was.

I don’t seem to be able to find it.

[oldteen]

What time zone does it have you in?

I think it must have me in PST although I should be in MST now.

Your an hour earlier than me right now correct?

[Kathy in Alaska]

We had clear blue skies, but mid teens. Not quite ready for no jacket. Possible snow all week.

[oldteen]

I do believe so...lol. It’s 7:28 here right now.

[ConorMacNessa]

Must retire - Monday starts early here! Gnite to all!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[AZamericonnie]

When I sign etc....it says it’s an hour earlier but eventually shows the correct time.

I guess it really doesn’t matter.....everything will change again next weekend!:)
