I learned more about Jesusโ care for each of us, for our very hearts, for our humanity, not for our trophies, accomplishments, rank, or any other status symbols. Thinking this passage (Luke 15:1-7) is so poignant, because Jesus emphasizes that the shepherd rejoices over the one sheep that got away and was found. He rejoices over each one of us he finds and brings back. He really does care about us in an intimate and personal way โ no matter our weaknesses, our sins, our quarks, our insecurities. Where we as humans often want to other those who are different, who donโt fit our idea of a good person, Jesus goes out of his way to seek and find them. His compassion and grace are infinite.
