Thought of the day :: LOST SON???
was so sick of statistics (although i have only studied for like 2 hours of it...) all full of theories that i have to know... why cant i do some calculations?!?! damn.... anywayz... was so sick of it... decided to go into my kitchen... took a bowl of cheezes... cheezes' holes to be exact... took a bottle of water and headed into my room... took out my bible and flip... flip... flip... flip... flip... flip... flip.... flip.... has anyone ever thought... why are the bible pages so thin...?? okie.. outta point... anywayz.. i flipped to LUKE... itz in the NEW testament.. jus in case nobody knows... *heeee heeee* =P and er... THIRD book hor... chapter 15 please everybody.... get someone to share their bible with u if u havent brought urs along.... The Parable of the Lost Sheep - LUKE 15: 4- 7 3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. The Parable of the Lost Coin - LUKE 15: 8-10 8"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coin and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." The Parable of the LOST SON - LUKE 15: 11-32 (as some of u might know... this is also known as "The Parable of the Prodigal Son".. but well... my bible say the LOST SON leh..?? so wats so funny??? HMMMMMM????) 11Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. 13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. 17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. 21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. 25"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' 28"The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!' 31" 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' " ------------------------------- end of story telling --------------------------------------- so.. my point today??? the ROCFISH performance we had today in church brought "The Parable of the Lost Son" up... moral of the story....?? or rather, my interpretation of these three stories... of how something was lost and how that someone will leave everything else behind jus to look for that something thats was lost... leaving 99 sheeps behind jus to look for the one that was lost... searching high and low for the lost coin that was among the 10 silver ones... even having to have wasted his share of the inheritance yet he was welcomed back home.... all these stories ended with celebration and joy... coz the lost was found... in the same way.. Jesus' always out there looking for His lost "sheeps"... no matter wat we did... no matter wat wrong we have done... no matter how far we have gone away... no matter how lost we are... no matter wat happened.... He's always opening up His arms to us... so that we can run into His arms anytime... "Run towards God, not away from God" [lEfT oUr pRiNtZ__*__sIlLyGiRl] at 12:17 am
