Luke 19:10 “The
Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Why
did Jesus come? Was it to make the sinners fell better about their sinning by
freely forgiving all and bring assurance of heaven, even if they feel no remorse,
have no repentance for what they do while rejecting God and Word? No. I read
that the most characteristic feature of Jesus Christ is that He is the Savior
of the world. He declared that He came to seek and save the that which was
lost, but not leave them lost in sin. If Jesus Christ has come into our hearts
and taken over our lives, that characteristic feature of His life will be the
reproduced in us an we will have a genuine interest in the souls of those who
are hell bound. The master passion of the Lord to seek and save the lost
becomes ours too. Those who do not know “the gift of God” in redemption at the
cross for the forgiveness of sin are “dead men walking”. Jesus is the antidote,
but many of the lost done realize that they are lost because of the sin nature
of the fallen fleshly desires, because of the pressure from the God-rejecting
world system in our culture, and because of the tempting lies of the devil, so
they do not know or accept the antidote to save their life. Sin is death – Proverbs
14:12 / 16:25.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift
of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”
The Lord has a grand
adventure for each of us; a great purpose for us to fulfill. We are here for a
reason. Jesus said to the Apostle Peter, “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you
out to fish for people” - Matthew
4:19.
In effect, the Lord was
saying, “I will give your life meaning, significance, and purpose in the work
of the kingdom that you cannot even imagine ... increasing the population of
heaven, by reducing the population of hell.
Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no
other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
We have been blessed to be a
blessing to others. We have been sought after and found by the Lord for
Salvation to seek and save the lost and dying by shining the light of the
gospel in their lives, so they find forgiveness and redemption at the foot of
the cross, in the atoning blood of Jesus, that the Holy Spirit transforms their
heart and regenerates their spirit unto salvation. This is the master passion.
Get passionate about seeking and saving the lost.
Romans 3:23-24 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
In Christ, Brian
