VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“So he told them this parable: ‘What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it?’” (Luke 15:3–4)

The wandering of a soul causes Jesus deep sorrow. He cannot bear the thought of one perishing. Such is the love and tenderness of his heart that he cannot bear that one of his own should be in jeopardy. He can take no rest as long as a soul for whom he shed his blood still abides under the dominion of Satan and under the power of sin. Therefore the great Shepherd neither night nor day forgets his sheep.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Zaghawa of Chad.

After Jesus rose, he said that “repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations” (Luke 24:47), but repentance for forgiveness of sins has never been proclaimed to the Zaghawa.

Pray that the gospel would finally reach the Zaghawa.
