To Save That Which Was Lost

Luke 19:10


For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd, who takes care of the sheep. I know how lost I was. I was wandering across this nation when God used circumstances to "herd me into a corner," so to speak: He brought me home to my mother's house. There He found me. I had been searching for the Truth, but I didn't know that Jesus is the Truth. So when God showed me Jesus, hanging on that Cross, I knew He didn't deserve that death at all, I did. I had been living my life totally against all His rules, and Jesus took my full, eternal debt to God and paid it in full, as the Sacrificial Lamb of God, and set me free from the bondage that had held me fast. Praise God for His mercy and grace to me!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
