One To 99

What do you think? If any man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go and search for the one that is straying? Matthew 18:12 NASB

JESUS. His name denotes power, authority, and majesty. Yet, in humility He took on human form to rescue us.  He modelled for us how we should live. He is God, who loves us more than we deserve or will ever comprehend.

When you surrender your life to Christ, understand He is making intercession for you. He is able to save us from any pit that we may face. 

Hebrews 7:25 NASB Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

There is no generational cycle that Jesus Christ cannot break. There is no chain that He cannot destroy.

It is through Jesus Christ, that our transgressions are completely wiped away.

Luke 4:14-19 NASB And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district. And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed, To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.”

Jesus declares His mission of love and freedom to all of humanity.

Do you see that? Jesus came to set people free. Jesus came to set you free. He came for those in need; the brokenhearted, the captives, the blind, and the oppressed. Jesus teaches the gospel, good news, that saves, heals, and brings freedom.

My friends, Jesus Christ is alive. When we repent and turn to God, we are redeemed. When we choose to surrender our own will to Jesus Christ, when we give our heart to Him, we are renewed with Him. He is the only way to God, He is our salvation. 

Wow! Thank You God! Your word teaches us - reminds us - that for thousands of years Your people have gone before us - covered by Your might  - they’ve struggled, lost, won, stumbled and stood again. By Faith we trust Your hand is guiding us today and will lead us tommorrow.
