We lived in New York City when I was in second grade. Outside our apartment building one day some friends and I decided to take a walk. Only we didn't tell anyone we were doing it. And we were gone for a couple hours. In New York City. And we were in second grade. And we had a great time. But when I eventually walked up the stairs to our apartment I could sense something was not right. My entrance into the apartment confirmed by suspicions. My Dad was upset and on the phone. My Mom was in tears. I quickly discovered that they thought I was lost and maybe worse. I was lost and I didn't even know it.
God says in His Word that all people are lost. The Bible says that all of us like sheep have gone astray. We have each turned to our own way. Because of our sin we have strayed away from God. We have lost our way. But God has gone after us. He has provided the way for us to be found. God laid our sin on His Son, Jesus. Through belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus we can be restored. We can have our sin forgiven. We can be found. We can have life as it was meant to be. Sometimes we are lost and we don't even know it. But we can be found.
