Lost

Have you ever thought what it would be like to be homeless? No home to come home to, no one to meet you when you arrived; no wife, no children, not even a dog; no one at all. What an awful thought and something I just do not have any desire to be a part of. I read about a man in Denver who the police called Al and Al has no idea who he is or where he is from. When Al spoke to the press he was hoping that someone would recognize him. As Al addressed the TV cameras his hands were shaking and his voice was wavering. He spoke and said “I feel totally lost, I feel totally alone very depressed and very anxious about everything.” You know the best thing about Al? He knew he was lost and wanted someone; anyone to help him. Al was lost and Al made a plea for help; Al couldn’t find himself. Al’s only hope is that someone would come looking for him. That’s the kind of person Jesus is looking for?  

Luke 19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Jesus is looking for those who are lost, the problem is many don’t see or understand that they are lost. Notice what Paul says

Ephisians 2:12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

In time past without Christ, strangers, having no hope and the reason there was no  hope “Without God in the World.” God was not part of their world, lives, daily activity. But did you notice the words “that time” what time? The time before Jesus found you; because you were not looking for Him. All you have to be is lost and He will find you.
