Theme for Pentecost 16
Christ comes looking for lost sinners so that he may rescue them, not condemn them. God is pleased when sinners repent so they are not lost.
Hymn #609
Alleluia. I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Alleluia.
Lord Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd, without whom nothing is secure. Rescue and preserve us that we may not be lost forever but follow You, rejoicing in the way that leads to eternal life; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
