Lost and Found

Luke 15:4-10
.

Think of your most valuable material possession. Got one in mind? Okay good. Now imagine you lost it? What would you do? If you lost your dog, you'll probably be searching everywhere, printing off LOST posters and calling animal pounds, right? If you lost your cellphone, you'll probably call it, retrace your steps or inquire a LOST&FOUND booth, right? If you lost your credit card, you'll probably look everywhere for it, call them to cancel it or replace it, right? Now, what if you found your lost item. Will you not rejoice? Will you not tell the people that are helping you look for it that it is found? 


Imagine God looking down at a sinner, his most valuable possession, repenting of sin. Does he not look with pleasing eyes at his creation? Does he not rejoice at the fact they have repented? Does he not make a path for him to share the good news?


Since you know the good news, would you not share it so others may learn of the love of the Lord and repent of their sins? Lets go out into the world and find those lost sheep.

To be found, you must first admit that you're lost.
