A few
years ago I was honored to preach at the opening Vesper service at our county
fair. I spoke about how terrifying it is when you or someone you love is lost.
In Luke 15 Jesus tells three beautiful stories about lost things being found.
1. The
lost sheep was rescued.
2. The
lost silver coin was redeemed.
3. The
lost son was restored.
All
three of these stories have the same ending - rejoicing! Before we met Christ
all of us were lost, but He came to rescue, redeem, and restore us. "God
so loves the world...". Always remember that Jesus cares about the
lost people of this world, and so should we. As His hands and feet, we are to
bring those who have separated themselves from God because of sin. Remember
listen to their story. Share with them your story of salvation. Give them
Jesus' story of redemption and God's love.
Accepting
Christ's gift of eternal life brings the lost out of darkness in to the light
of God's presence.
Always
share God's love with the lost - it's amazing to see grace in action. Amen?
