Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

Then Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?

And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.

He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. Mark 3:13-15

He appointed twelve that they might be with him.

But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Philppians 1:18

I was near home, in sight of the house, My father just stared, dropped open his mouth, He ran up the road, and fell to my feet, and cried, and cried.

"Father, I've sinned, Heaven's ashamed, I'm no longer worthy, to wear your name, I've learned that my home, is right where you are Oh father, take me in."

"Bring the best robe, put it on my son, Shoes for his feet, hurry, put them on, This is my son, who I thought had died, Prepare a feast, for my son's life!

I prayed and prayed, never heard a sound, My son was lost, Oh Thank you God! He's found! My son was dead and he's now alive!

Prepare a feast for my son's life Prepare a feast for my son's life! My son was dead, my son was lost My son returned in the hands of God."
