0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical dot net.
0:04.7	Luke chapter 15 verses three through seven
0:08.5	so Jesus told them this parable
0:10.6	what man of you having a hundred sheep if he has lost one of them does not leave the
0:15.6	99 in the open country and go after the one that is lost until he finds it and when he has
0:22.1	found it he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
0:25.6	And when he comes home he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them,
0:29.4	rejoice with me for I have found my sheep that was lost.
0:33.0	Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents
0:39.5	than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance. I remember sharing this story in the
0:47.8	middle of nowhere like way far out with a shepherd who had sheep like a real shepherd like this was his
0:59.6	livelihood and as I told this story, so this is a non-believer, not someone who's a follower of Christ, in fact, it's someone in an unreached people group where most people in this area of this country have never heard the gospel.

1:48.4	rescue that one sheep. And as he shared that with me, I looked at him and I said, I want to share with you that this is the way God perceives you.
2:02.0	Like God loves you like this. He wants you to know his love for you.
2:11.1	I began to share the gospel and I just I want to encourage you today like wherever you are whatever is going on in your life that God loves you like this. That God loves you so much that
2:29.9	he has sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for you for your sins and God just think of it
2:38.2	God has come searching after you. God has thrown a joyful celebration in heaven over you, your salvation. Like let that soak in, his love for you, his joy and
2:59.8	you, and then as you soak that in think he doesn't just love me this way like he loves
