Revealing Jesus with Darlene Zschech

DAY 7 OF 15

The One Which is Lost

Has there ever been a storyteller like Jesus? He had such a simple and lovely way of expressing truth in everyday word pictures.

In the parable of the lost sheep, He confronts those who are proud of their religion and consider it a small exclusive club for only special people—and they are, of course, special, better than others. Could anything be further from the nature of our loving heavenly Father? He doesn’t play favorites. He doesn’t love some people and hate others. He loves the entire world.

This parable reminds me that if my Savior dined with sinners, if He is the Good Shepherd who braves hardship and danger to find the one lost sheep, then so must I—not out of cold duty, but in response to the gracious love Jesus showed to me when I was the lost sheep. All of us have been there.

So we step out of our comfort zone and seek out those who are lost. Nothing was more valuable than a sheep in the eyes of a shepherd. Nothing was more urgent than a lost soul in the eyes of our Lord. Let’s continue to be brave enough to ask God to give us eyes to see like He does and the courage to step out and bring resolve whenever we can.

Thank you, Lord, for seeking until you found when I was lost and far away from the safety of your flock. Help me to see the lost in my world with the same love and urgency you showed me.
