“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:10
Picture yourself in a deep dark forest. The underbrush is thick making each step a challenge. The trees are massive in height and width, their limbs act as a canopy blocking the sunlight. Day after day after day you have labored trying to find your way out. You are heavy laden and burdened and your soul is restless. You are weary from the darkness and the weight of every plan that you devise to save yourself ending in futility. You are thirsty and your hunger runs deep into the very depths of your soul. You begin to cry out, “Help, I am lost”. Again, with a strained voice, you implore, “Help me I cannot find the way.” Unbeknownst to you, there was one who was sent and he hears your cries. He tells you, “Follow me I know the way.” And so, you turn from the direction you were going and you trust in the one who heard your cry. His way is easy and it leads you out of the darkness of the forest and into the light.
Jesus Christ is the seeker and the Saviour. Jesus Christ is, “The way, the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6.) Jesus Christ is the light, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12.) Spiritually speaking, man is like the lost one in the forest we just read about. Without Jesus Christ as your Saviour, everyone is dead in their trespasses and sins; they are in darkness. Life is not life until one is born again. Life is not life until Jesus is the Lord of your life. Praise God that He sent His Son, the Seeker and the Saviour.
Because of the victory won by and thru Christ our words can echo those found in I Corinthians 15:55, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Praise God for that!
