April 12- Too Notorious

Joshua 5:1-7:15
Luke 15:1-32
Psalm 81:1-16
Proverbs 13:1

Luke 15- 1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do?

The verse hits me because it reminds me that Jesus is all about loving the NOTORIOUS. Fact is that no one is too wicked for Jesus to go searching for them. Jesus is willing to go and find those who run away, because they are his sheep, his children, his creation. God reminds us today that he is willing to save those who will turn to him. No one is too notorious. No one is too evil. All have fallen short. And everyone who accepts Jesus Christ will be saved.
