Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, long before the internet and the wonders of GPS, lived a people that used printed maps to get around. Sometimes when a map was not readily available, people would stop and ask for directions. Some of them hated asking for directions and instead chose to find things their own way. Many who chose to do so ended up inevitably lost. To be lost is to desperately seek direction but find none. Spiritually, the lost heart longs for God but is unable to find its way back to him. Proud and unable to ask for direction, the lost heart is searching for all the right things in all the wrong ways. That is why Jesus came. He came to give us the direction we desperately need but many times don’t want to hear. He came to tell us we are lost but do not need to remain so.
The Reason He Came ::: He Came to Give His Life as a Ransom for Many
