That which is lost

"For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10 NKJV). Jesus came to seek the lost, those that are bound by sin. He did not come to save the righteous, but He came to those that were lost in bondage, blinded by the lust in their hearts, and only desired more of this world. So many today are lost and blinded by the gods of this world, and Christ came to pave the Way to everlasting freedom. He gives us His very word, the Word of God. The Word of God is for us to believe in and to trust in by faith. In this Living Word, we learn more about Christ and God the Father. The Word teaches us how we should live our lives and how walk in the fullness of God's goodness. How great is our God! He sent His only begotten Son to seek and save the lost of this world. This takes some participation also on the church's behalf. Just as Christ showed us, we must also seek the lost of the world. It is up to us, the church today, to do what Christ has shown us to do, and that is to prepare the way for the harvest and to get ourselves ready as laborers to receive them. Seek the lost. Praise God and God bless you.
