Luke 19:10 (NLT) “The Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”

Luke 15:7 (NLT) 7 There is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!

Luke 15:10 (NLT) There is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”

Luke 15:22-32 (NLT) 22  “But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. 23  And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, 24  for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began. 25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, 26  and he asked one of the servants what was going on. 27  ‘Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.’ 32  We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’”

Psalm 36:7-8 (NIV) 7 How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8  They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

4. Presents
Acts 1:4-5 (NIV) 4 “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

“He doesn’t release us from responsibilities; he empowers us to fulfill them.”
