Lost and Found


"For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”  Mt. 18:11

Jesus is the Lord of the lost and found.  We can all recall our school days when we lost a hat or mitten.  We can all recall our school days when we lost a hat or mitten.  We would go to the office and locate the lost and found box.  There, we could hopefully find what was missing.

God sent His Son to retrieve all that was lost, all that is lost, and all that shall ever be lost.   He is our perfect match; the missing piece of our lives.  He will go anywhere to find us, reclaim us, and return us to where we belong.

Is there something inside our lives that has been lost?  Jesus has come for that.  He wants us – all of us.  He will not stop in His kind and gentle way until every part of our lives has been found, saved, rescued, repaired and restored.  He was with us when we lost it – it could be a spouse, a parent, a friend.    We may have lost the innocence of our youth.  He was there.  If we wept, Jesus wept.  If we suffered, Jesus suffered.  Though He was fully divine, He also was fully human.  Jesus specializes in relating to us in our “lost" condition and be our missing part.  Today, let’s give Him permission to reclaim all of us today.
