Lost Sheep

Lost Sheep  -  Forty Two

      In John 15:4 Jesus talks about looking for lost sheep.  Here is a reality all that do not know Jesus Christ are lost sheep.  They have only one reality for eternity and that is they are going to a lost eternity.  One time I read a book from a pastor who felt he needed to correct the church on the term lost.  He said people are not lost they are just temporarily not knowing where they are going.  Now I know he was trying to help give a new perspective but the reality is that people are lost.  Jesus coined the phrase and if the phrase was good enough for Jesus it should be good enough for us.  The reality is that the shepherd has done everything for the sheep.  Jesus gave His life so none would have to perish.  Now our job is to go into our world and tell them.  Ezekiel was told that if he did not tell his generation they would not hear and that he was responsible.  It is time we take what was taken to Ezekiel and apply it to us.  If we do not tell them who will?  Your response is well, we have internet, T.V. radio, newspapers and magazines.  Yes we do but we still have the responsibility and it is time we did it.  God will hold personally responsible.  Our objective must be doing the will of God and about the masters business.   So today do not be selfish and irresponsible.  Tell someone about Jesus because their eternity is in your hands.
