How do we know that God seeks lost sheep?

The sermon illustrates that God, specifically through Christ, seeks the lost sheep, as seen in John 5 with the man at the pool. The narrative draws a parallel with the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, demonstrating that it is the shepherd who seeks after the sheep, not the other way around. This is a crucial aspect of sovereign grace theology, affirming that salvation is initiated by God’s grace, and that the lost are incapable of seeking Him on their own due to their sinful state. The compassionate pursuit of God for His elect reflects His mercy and purpose to redeem those He has chosen from eternity.
