But What If That One Lost Sheep Was You?

Your King James Bible gives an amazing account of a good Shepard who, when just one of His flock had strayed, was willing to momentarily leave the 99 of His sheep to go and reclaim just one who had wandered away. That doesn’t sound like very good management skills, does it? Leaving the majority of His flock just to get one back? Well, what if that one was you? We live in a hostile day and age, everywhere you look amongst the saved and lost, people seem angrier than they’ve ever been. People are willing to fight over just about anything and everything. But even in this late hour, as the spirit of Antichrist continues to rise, the Saviour is stilling tugging on men’s hearts to go and look for little, lost sheep. We talk a lot about working to see lost people get saved, and we should, absolutely. But very little is said about working to reclaim and reconcile our saved brothers and sisters in Christ who have wandered away from the fold. What would Jesus do? He’d go get them. In the account of the good Samaritan, Jesus shows you a man who is beaten, robbed and left for dead. As he lay there, there comes upon him a priest, a Levite, and a man of Samaria despised by the Jews. The priest won’t help, the Levite won’t help, but the lowly Samarian not only helps, but gives sacrificially to see him made whole again. On this Sunday Service, I’d like to ask which one of these 3 men are you?
