Ref. DLG B3 : The Lost

'' For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. '' Luke 19:10

The lost are those who are disconnected from the kingdom of God . These have lost their originality , thus they are typically disinherited from the godly heritage , Therefore they are missing in God's kingdom , Jesus used parables to illustrate how anybody living in sin is lost .Every human being was created for good things , that is to do good deeds . Therefore , if you are found not doing these good deeds , but instead you do evil , then you are lost .

'' For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.'' Ephesians 2:10 There are so many parables Jesus used to emphasize the lost sheep .'' It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. '' Luke 15:4-7  Jesus completed the parable by comparing thou, the lost sheep to a sinner whilst the rest of the sheep symbolises the saints in the kingdom . 'I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. '' Luke 15 :7 

The lost coin is another parable that best explains how the sinner could be found .[ Luke 15;8-10 } Founding the lost sinner is the ultimate joy in heaven , in fact angels rejoice when one sinner repents . ''Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. '' Luke 15:10 Jesus mission is that of salvation for the  lost soul , those wondering and wallowing in sin are totally lost .Another term used for the lost is those who are perishing . 'For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. '' 1 Corinthians 1:18 

The lost are those who are gradually perishing in the spiritual rheam , such are dead in their sins ,they are only a living corpse . '' And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; '' Colossians  2:13 Jesus came on purpose to saved the repentant sinner and recover their soul from that condition of the lost . In Christ Jesus all who believe and repent of their sins are found and their dead soul is made alive in God's kingdom . 

PRAYER 

Lord Jesus Christ thank you for founding my lost soul , use me to also find and save the lost in the name of Yeshua .
