Every Last One

The parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin from Luke 15 illustrate God's irrational, all-consuming love. Just as the shepherd leaves 99 sheep to find one, and the woman searches tirelessly for a single coin, God seeks us out with unwavering determination. Fr. Justin’s personal experience of hearing God's voice – 'Justin doesn't save people. Jesus saves people.' – beautifully reinforces this truth. It's not our job to save others; it's Jesus who saves. This realization can free us from anxiety about others' salvation and our own perceived failures, allowing us to trust in God's perfect plan of redemption.
