Verse of the Day (April 27, 2020) #BMSeminary – [to seek and to save] This encapsulates the purpose of Jesus’ ministry and reaffirms his mission to “call . . . sinners to repentance” (5:32). Not only is he able to save, but he also takes initiative in seeking those who need to be saved since he is both a powerful and merciful Savior. [the lost] Links this to the parables of the lost sheep, coin, and son (ch. 15). (Zondervan Study Bible)
