“Lost and Found”

 Isaiah 1:18

“Come now let us reason together,” says the LORD. “No matter 

how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it.  I can make you

as clean as freshly fallen snow.  Even if you are stained as red as 

crimson, I can make you as white as wool.” (NLT)

     What a profound declaration of the Truth this is from our Holy and Righteous God.  What an encouraging promise this is from the Savior who continually pursues the lost so they can be cleansed and made righteous.  But make no doubt about it, dear friend, just as Christ pursues His lost and wayward people, so too, does the Enemy pursue your soul and will do anything to pull you away from God, hoping to stain you with so much sin that you will believe that God could never forgive you.  Do not believe this lie, for God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son to be the perfect and final sacrificial Lamb of God.  This single act of perfect love and justice is the complete atonement of mankind’s sin and rebellion.  And it's for you as well. 

     Many lost and wandering souls are led into a life of sin by the lies of Satan and his godless world view, which has no godly purpose or lasting value—it's much like chasing the wind until you run off a cliff.  Most of these deceived people pursue things that feel good for the moment, but are unaware of its meaningless, short sightedness, and eternally deadly.  Most of our world operates against the very grain of God’s will and many of its people are desperate for something that will fill the empty gap and give them peace.  And there is only One Person and One Way to fill that desire; the death and resurrection of our Lord God and Savior, Jesus Christ.   He sets us free from the power of sin and the sting of death.  He removes the shame and guilt of our sinful past and gives us a new lease on life—an eternal life.  The forgiveness and the cleansing power of Christ Jesus is complete, and no one who has the breath of life is ever too lost to be found.  Complete forgiveness and redemption, is but a breath away for anyone who truly longs for peace, hope, and forgiveness.

                                         A Whisper of Hope

Come to Me…My dear child, and I will fill the emptiness that only I can fill.  This delusional world is filled with false hope and confusion, making it difficult to escape its darkness.  But take heart, for I have overcome the world for you and your redemption is but a decision away.  I not only bring you salvation, but also My peace and the wisdom to weather the storms until the day I bring you Home.

1 John 1:9

But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just

to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.  (NLT)

                             “Behold! The Lamb of God 

              who takes away the sin of the world!
