Good Tuesday morning! You know it is in your house/apartment/workplace somewhere, but you just can't put your hands on it. Usually it has to do with car keys or the television remote, but other times it is something you haven't seen or used for some time. How much time and effort do you put in to finding this thing? Like me, you probably expend quite a bit depending upon how badly you want it. Jesus told us some parables about the value the kingdom of heaven places on us lost things. A man discovers a treasure beyond price in a field, so he sells all he has to purchase this field. The tiniest of seeds outdoes all expectations and grows into a mighty tree for birds to shelter under. A man sends all his servants and eventually his very son to redeem a certain vineyard, yet the residents keep on killing. How far would God go to redeem those lost things?
We know one answer to that; God sent His Son who died on the cross for our salvation. We got lost further and went to a far country to live the life, but God welcomed us back home. Parable after parable speaks of the love God has for us, His little lost things. No effort is too great, no price too high for God to redeem us from sin. Whatever effort we might expend to find that one lost possession pales in comparison to what God expended to find you and me in the darkness. That calls for some rejoicing!
Have a wonderful day in Christ!Bucky
