Daily Bible Reading – February 2021 God’s Word of Loveनमूना

February 20

Introduction

In today’s reading, Jesus tells two parables, using images of a lost sheep and a lost coin, to teach about how God cares for those who are lost.

Today’s scripture reading 

Luke 15:1-10

Today’s key verse: Luke 15:10

[Jesus said:] “In the same way, I tell you, the angels of God rejoice over one sinner who repents.”

Reflect

In Luke’s Gospel, the “lost” are sinners and tax collectors who were considered to be outcasts by some in the Jewish community in Jesus’s day. In verses 1-3, who are the ones listening to Jesus? Who are the ones who are grumbling and why? How would the “listeners” have understood these parables? What do these two parables teach you about God’s love?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I want to be your disciple, and I commit my life to you. Teach me to follow you and to share your love with those who are lost and lonely. I offer you my humble and repentant heart. With the angels in heaven, I rejoice because of your steadfast love for me. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Prayer concern

Those marginalized by society

Tomorrow’s reading
