RESPONSIVE READING:
Luke 15:4–6, 8–10; Zephaniah 3:17
Luke 15:4 “Suppose one of you has 100 sheep and loses one of them. He leaves the 99 in the wilderness and looks for the one that is lost until he finds it, doesn’t he?
5 When he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders and rejoices.
6 Then he goes home, calls his friends and neighbors together, and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I’ve found my lost sheep!’
8 Or suppose a woman has ten coins and loses one of them. She lights a lamp, sweeps the house, and searches carefully until she finds it, doesn’t she?
9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 In the same way, I tell you that there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Zeph. 3:17 The Lord your God among you is powerful— he will save and he will take joyful delight in you. In his love he will renew you with his love; he will celebrate with singing because of you.
