The Value of One

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today. In Luke 15, Jesus tells us three powerful stories about something lost: a sheep, a coin, and a son. And in each story, the message is clear. No one is insignificant. Heaven rejoices over just one person that turns to God. Jesus shows us a Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the one, a woman who scours her house for a single coin, and a father who waits and runs to welcome his child home. That’s how much God values one life. And this is why Jesus went to the cross. Our Savior gave His life so that we could come to Him in repentance and receive the gift of eternal life. One by one, we come. And when we truly understand the value God places on every person, we’re moved to share the Gospel with patience, love, and joy with those around us. Today, ask God to show the one in your life that you need to share the Good News with. For help, visit sharelife.today.
